Woodware
VS
Cornware
We Are Transitioning to Premium Natural Eco-friendly Dining Ware
Woodware generally scores higher in eco-friendliness compared to cornware due to its more sustainable sourcing, minimal environmental impact during growth and production, strong durability, and overall lower reliance on fossil fuels. However, both natural woodware and cornware are biodegradable and derived from renewable resources, making them more environmentally friendly alternatives to traditional plastics.
While both options are eco-friendly choices, woodware edges out slightly due to its renewable sourcing, durability, and lower environmental impact throughout its lifecycle.

Their long lifespan means fewer resources are needed for replacements, promoting a more eco-friendly dining experience.
Introducing Porcelain
What is porcelain?
Our commitment to excellence extends beyond our culinary creations to the very tableware on which they are served. We are proud to introduce our selection of premium porcelain kitchenware, chosen not only for its timeless beauty and sophistication but also for its commitment to sustainability.
