US-based compostable packaging solutions provider Better Earth has launched its touch-free pressed fibre cutlery dispenser.

The company claims that this new product is designed to offer a hygienic and sustainable alternative to conventional cutlery dispensers, combining user convenience with environmental responsibility.

The dispenser is engineered to minimise contact and reduce contamination risks, ensuring that each piece of cutlery dispensed is untouched.

The dispenser’s handle-first delivery system and patented sealed bags with tape tabs simplify and sanitise the refilling process.

Crafted from pressed bamboo fibre, Better Earth’s cutlery is both compostable and recyclable.

The company emphasises that this dispenser not only incorporates user-friendly refilling but also adheres to single-use plastic laws in several regions across North America, including California, Washington, Colorado, and Canada.

The new product is compatible with zero-waste programmes and can be integrated into restaurants, sports and entertainment venues, and healthcare facilities, among others.

Last month, Better Earth unveiled its Farmer’s Fiber Retail Collection across the US.

The collection featured an extensive variety of compostable moulded fibre plates and bowls.
