Plastic Soup Spoons

Give customers a satisfying casual dining experience when you supply them with sturdy plastic soup spoons. These disposable flatware pieces are ideal for gatherings of different sizes and diners of all ages. Plastic soup spoons are safe, convenient, and disposable cutlery. You can add them to take-out orders in a food establishment, include them with lunches at corporate retreats, or hand them out at children's parties. Staples® carries a wide selection of plastic cutlery and flatware options including soup spoons.

Choose Between Heavy and Medium Weight Plastic Soup Spoons
Utensils and plastic serving spoons come in different weights and the right one to pick depends on the foods you intend to eat with them. Since lightweight flatware is too flimsy for most applications, many brands usually only offer heavy weight and medium weight plastic spoons. Heavyweight plastic is more durable and stronger so it's ideal for items like chilies, stews, and ice cream. It is also harder and does not bend or break easily. The weighty feel of these plastic utensils gives users a higher impression of quality.

Medium weight plastic flatware and Asian spoons are also sturdy but more pliable than heavyweight options. They offer great value and are suitable for everyday dining. The softer textures of these spoons make them ideal for eating lighter foods like soups, desserts, and salads. You should also get medium weight soup spoons for children's parties.

Make Your Brand Greener With Eco-Friendly Plastic Soup Spoons
Eco-friendly flatware is great for the environment and can also improve your brand's reputation. Since plastic spoons are disposable, they can make up a significant proportion of landfill waste. To reduce the impact of this cutlery on the environment, you should pick eco-friendly options where available. These include soup spoons made of degradable, compostable, recycled, and recyclable plastic as well as renewable raw materials. Degradable plastics reduce land pollution by breaking down to release harmless waste products like water and useful biomass. Some brands recycle used plastic spoons into new plastic products. This reduces the number of new plastics produced and the impact of the material on the environment.

What Kinds of Polymers Do Plastic Soup Spoons Use?
The major plastic polymers used for making flatware are polypropylene, polystyrene, polyvinyl chloride or PVC, and PLA (polylactic acid). PLA is a biopolymer and an eco-friendly choice.

What Is the Difference Between Biodegradable and Degradable Plastic Soup Spoons?
Microbes in the environment decompose biodegradable plastic while degradable plastic requires strong chemicals to break down. It takes longer for biodegradable flatware to decompose but there is no additional cost to removing them from the environment. Biodegradable cutlery is made of bioplastic, a sustainable material sourced from renewable plant and animal materials like cornstarch and vegetable oil.

Should You Get Colored Plastic Soup Spoons?
Both heavy and medium weight plastic spoons are available in white, black, and other solid colors. You can pick them in colors that complement your brand's colors, party decor, or disposable plates. Choose white or clear spoons if you run a catering business or restaurant. These match most party themes and are appropriate for any occasion.
