Sustainability
*Biodegradability depends on local facilities and conditions. PSM is a plant-starch based blend that helps reduce virgin fossil plastic use. These knives are not typically certified for home composting and may only be accepted in specific industrial composting streams, where available. If no suitable facility exists, dispose of with general waste. Always check local guidance.
