Why is World Centric compostable packaging better than plastic or foam? ⚡️ They use less energy to manufacture 🌱 They are made from annually renewable plants like bamboo and sugarcane bagasse 🌎 They are designed to be composted and break down into nutrient-rich soil, which can be used to grow more plants!
About us
The choices we make reveal how much we care for our world. Confronted by the social and environmental realities of our time, we choose to pursue our vision for a thriving world. Through our products, carbon giving program, and partnerships we are using business to create a better world. World Centric began with a mission to reduce economic injustice and environmental degradation through education and community networks. Founded in 2004 by Aseem Das as a non-profit, he funded the organization through a small, online store promoting Fair Trade products. Realizing the contribution compostables items have to reducing waste, they were added to the store’s offerings. As demand grew for an earth-friendly alternative to traditional disposables, World Centric began to innovate and introduce our own products made from renewable resources and agricultural byproducts. We unintentionally became a leading supplier in the green packaging industry.Recognizing the power of commerce to impact the planet, World Centric converted to a for-profit social enterprise in 2009. In 2010, we certified as a B Corp, then became a California Benefit Corporation - using our products and profits as a way to make a difference in the world. “When we are young, we think the whole world revolves around us - that is Ego Centric. As we grow, we connect with people who share our same religion or traditions - that is Ethno Centric. When we expand that connection to care about everyone on the planet - that is WORLD CENTRIC.”

✨ These are a few of our favorite things ✨ about our Bamboo Cutlery: 👉🏼 They're made from 100% FSC Certified Bamboo and can be discarded with your yard trimmings 👉🏼 They contain no plastics or virgin wood 👉🏼 Using FSC certified bamboo means we are helping to protect water quality, prohibit harvesting of rare, old growth forests, prevent the loss of natural forest cover and prohibit the use of hazardous chemicals. 📸: @tyshagracia @oddkitchen

These are more than just paper cups! They're tree-free and help keep critical carbon sinks (trees) in the ground. 🌲 They're petroleum plastic-free and lined with a PLA lining. 🚫 They contribute to our giving program, where 25% of profits fund nonprofits around the world doing vital work for people and the planet. 🧡 📸: @skoghaus @jgk____
