The main material of plastic knives and forks is plastic, which has excellent processing performance and formability, and can easily be made into various shapes and sizes of tableware. In addition, plastic knives and forks have a smooth surface and are not prone to bacterial growth, meeting food safety standards.

Plastic knives and forks do not require cleaning and disinfection, and can be discarded directly after use. This greatly saves users time and energy, and improves dining efficiency. With the increasing awareness of environmental protection, more and more enterprises are paying attention to the environmental performance of plastic knives and forks. Some plastic knives and forks are now made of biodegradable materials, such as polylactic acid (PLA). These materials can quickly decompose under natural conditions, reducing pollution to the environment.
