As global regulations and consumer expectations around sustainability intensify, foodservice chains across Europe and North America are rapidly replacing plastic utensils with eco-friendly alternatives. One material leading the charge in 2025? Wooden cutlery.

In 2025, this movement has gained momentum not only due to plastic bans in the EU and U.S., but also because eco-conscious diners are demanding natural, compostable alternatives at every level of foodservice — from quick-serve restaurants to upscale catering events.

Wooden Cutlery: A Strategic Move, Not Just Compliance
Wooden cutlery offers significant benefits that go beyond environmental friendliness:

✅ 100% biodegradable and home compostable

✅ No synthetic coatings or microplastic residues

✅ Natural texture that enhances the customer dining experience

✅ Safe for hot and cold food — ideal for dine-in and takeaway applications

According to recent market reports, the global wooden cutlery market is expected to reach USD 300+ million by 2033, driven by demand from restaurant chains, delivery platforms, and large-scale distributors.

Manufacturers like Eco-Ancheng are enabling this transformation at scale. With over 20 years of experience, Eco-Ancheng supplies a full range of FSC-certified wooden cutlery, stirrers, skewers, and bamboo-based foodware for clients across the EU, North America, and beyond.

The company offers:

Wooden forks, knives, and spoons in various sizes (140mm–200mm)

Customizable cutlery kits with paper napkins and seasoning sachets

Retail-ready and foodservice bulk packaging formats

OEM/ODM services for private-label partners

“We’re seeing increased demand not only for the cutlery itself, but also for eco-friendly packaging that aligns with our clients’ sustainability goals,” says [Spokesperson Name], Export Manager at Eco-Ancheng. “Large foodservice chains are shifting away from plastic not just because they have to — but because their customers expect it.”

A New Standard for Responsible Dining
The rise of wooden cutlery is not a trend — it’s the new industry standard. As foodservice operators rethink their supply chains and packaging formats, wooden utensils are becoming a key symbol of low-impact, high-integrity dining.
