Compostable plastics like PLA, used in World Centric products, are made from renewable resources such as corn starch, requiring significantly less energy in production (around 52% less) and producing fewer greenhouse gas emissions (around 80% less) compared to traditional petroleum-based plastics. They are also non-toxic and, when properly composted, divert food waste from landfills, reducing methane emissions.
Beyond their compostable products, World Centric demonstrates a strong commitment to sustainability through various initiatives. They prioritize using renewable and responsibly sourced materials like bamboo and FSC-certified paper, annually calculate and offset their carbon emissions through funding environmental projects, utilize solar power at their headquarters, subsidize public transportation for staff, donate 25% of their net profits to social and environmental organizations, and actively work with suppliers to achieve their own environmental goals.
Bamboo is highlighted as an environmentally beneficial material due to its rapid growth, minimal need for water and fertilizer, and its ability to absorb and store significant amounts of carbon dioxide, particularly in its extensive root system. Sustainable harvesting of bamboo does not harm the plant or the stored carbon underground and reduces the need for deforestation associated with traditional timber. World Centric also sources FSC-certified bamboo to ensure responsible forest management.
Third-party certifications from organizations like NSF International and TÃœV AUSTRIA provide critical assurance that World Centric's products meet rigorous, science-based standards for compostability, including biodegradability, disintegration, and eco-toxicity. These certifications ensure transparency, prevent greenwashing, and help consumers and composting facilities confidently identify and process truly compostable materials, reducing contamination in recycling streams and supporting effective waste management.
