WSCS Global has partnered with an India-based paper cutlery manufacturer to be the exclusive supplier of a cost effective and more planet-conscious onboard solution.
Polygon Papertech’s product is “precision-cut for a smooth and comfortable feel every time” and is made with multiple layers of paper for added strength.
Its paper spoons hold up to 4.5ml of liquid so they can be used for soups or ice cream without any spillage.
A spokesperson said WSCS Global was already talking to airlines interested in buying the product, which is being made with lower manufacturing costs than in other regions of the world and can also be branded.
Managing Director Ian Brett said: “We know consumers are looking for planet-conscious alternatives to plastic, but we’re offering a solution that will not affect their dining experience.
“One of the main factors of our business is delivering bespoke packaging solutions to match our customer’s business goals. Our paper cutlery solution ticks all the boxes for food-service businesses looking for the next big thing in planet-conscious but reliable packaging consumables.”
Polygon Founder Mridul Mittal added: “We faced reoccurring issues when using the current cutlery available on the market to eat our food. It left us with a disappointing experience, which ultimately ruined our meal. We knew there had to be a better solution, and the idea for an improved alternative was born.”
