Wooden vs plastic ice cream spoons: which is better for bulk orders?

For most bulk buyers, wooden ice cream spoons are the better choice: food-safe, biodegradable and compliant with EU SUPD (2019/904) and US plastic bans. Plastic is cheaper per unit but adds compliance and disposal risk.

Key points

Regulation

Wood meets EU SUPD and US state bans; plastic is restricted in many markets.

Cost

Wood costs slightly more, but the gap narrows at 100,000+ pcs.

Performance

Stays firm at -18°C without cracking; FDA/LFGB-compliant options.
