Cleverly designed biodegradable, reusable flatware Our forks have beveled edges that let it double as a knife on most lunch/picnic foods Compost-friendly – everything is made from sugar cane starch and bamboo fiber (no plastic here!) Sustainably sourced Set includes: 12 Eco blue spoons and 12 Eco blue forks Approx 6.75"each About the Astrik material: --Dishwasher-friendly, durable and reusable with a recommended lifetime of 400 washes. --Biodegradable by design - meant to last about a year with use and reuse. --We’ve safely tested our Eco utensils up to 200 degrees Fahrenheit in a commercial dishwasher, but prolonged exposure at higher temperatures is not advised, as heat is the driving element that promotes the degradation. Think dishwashing on a “heavy duty” high heat wash cycle, or using the utensils to stir or cut food directly out of the microwave or oven, which usually boast temperatures far higher than 200 degrees.
