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 RegulationWood meets EU SUPD and US state bans; plastic is restricted in many markets. CostWood costs slightly more, but the gap narrows at 100,000+ pcs. PerformanceStays firm at -18°C without cracking; FDA/LFGB-compliant options.

Wood and bamboo win on every eco metric. Unlike plastic (500-1000+ years, microplastics) and most coated paper (plastic or PFAS liners), wood and bamboo are carbon-negative, decompose in 90-180 days and produce zero microplastic pollution. Quick comparison Wood/Bamboo - carbon-negative, 90-180 days, zero microplastics, EU SUPD compliantPlastic - high carbon, 500-1000+ years, microplastics, banned by EU SUPDPaper - often lined with plastic/PFAS that defeats eco purpose Request comparison samples

Yes - pure wood is not plastic, so we are naturally compliant. YADA products fall entirely outside the EU SUPD 2019/904 plastic ban that took effect in July 2021.
