Collection: Disposable Forks

Polypropylene (PP) or Polystyrene(PS)?

VIP carries a full line of disposable cutlery in both bulk and individually wrapped for convenience and sanitation.  Cutlery is available in various weights and designs in both polypropylene and polystyrene.

Strength Factors:

Polystyrene is rigid and strong.  It can break with excessive force.

Polypropylene is flexible and less likely to break when excessive force is applied.

Environmental Factors:

Polystyrene is not easily recyclable and can last in the environment for a long time, contributing to plastic pollution. Some areas are unable to recycle polystyrene products of any kind.

Polypropylene is widely accepted for recycling in many recycling programs, reducing its impact on the environment. Please check your local laws and waste management regulations to see if plastic cutlery is recyclable in your area.
