EcoChoice heavy weight 6 1/2" green CPLA plastic fork provides a great alternative to standard plastic flatware. An ideal alternative to traditional, petroleum-based plastic utensils, this fork is made of CPLA, a plant- and chalk-based plastic that's formed with renewable resources to minimize environmental impact upon disposal. This CPLA is crystalized PLA, which is stronger and can withstand higher temperatures than standard PLA, resulting in a sturdier utensil.
