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.”

Three humble brags about our bamboo cutlery: 🌲 It's made from FSC® certified bamboo! This signifies that the forest where the bamboo is grown and harvested is being managed ethically and sustainably. 🌻 It's plant-based and can be discarded with your yard trimmings! 🚫 No added PFAS, plastics, or toxic materials

Why are compostable plastics, like PLA, a better choice than petroleum plastics? ⛽️ Cultivation of raw materials (petroleum) for traditional plastic is fossil fuel intensive, while PLA is made from plant-based materials (corn, cassava, and other plant sugars commonly) and less fossil-fuel dependent. ⚡️ Manufacturing PLA to produce our foodservice ware is less energy intensive than manufacturing traditional petroleum plastic foodservice ware. 🍎 Compostables, like PLA, help divert food scraps away from the landfill and into the compost stream, when composted. Food residue on petroleum plastics are a contaminate to the recycling stream. 💦 PLA requires less freshwater consumption due to efficient farming practices and lower water needs in processing.
