AmazonBasics Compostable Plastic Forks 100 Pack Review

I bought these when they were on sale. I don't know if I'll buy them again at the regular price. But I've been trying to reduce plastic and I have health issues too, so using washable items isn't always easy. So they're good for when someone wants a cup of custard or yogurt as a snack and they don't have the woody taste of bamboo utensils.

I purchased these while waiting to be composted at home. However, I have found that PLA only degrades under very specific conditions, with rare bio-organisms and over a long period of time. As such, they only decompose in certain types of commercial composting facilities. Otherwise they last 100 years. Confound.

These spoons are the worst. They break even at the slightest pressure. Forget about eating ice cream or yogurt. When they grabbed the handle, we just pulled out another one. But then they started falling apart on the tip of a spoon! My kids were fishing for spicy bits of food. We simply threw the rest away (composted). This is a security risk.
