ABOUT US

We make environmentally friendly single-use wooden utensils.

Alder-Tek Manufacturing is committed to enhancing our customers’ brand by manufacturing premium single-use wooden utensils to drive positive impacts for the environment and the world. Attention to detail is what sets your brand experience apart from your competition. Alder-Tek Manufacturing was founded on the idea that environmentally friendly utensils are an opportunity to enhance your image and customer experience by using the most environmentally friendly utensils available in the market today. Consumers are increasingly aware of the damage single-use plastics are causing to the environment and research continuously finds that businesses can drive loyalty, but showing innovation and thoughtfulness to the entire supply chain. Alder-Tek Manufacturing has the resources and experience to ensure the work you have put into your brand is not undone at the very first bite.

Innovation

Plastic production and use rates are high and increasing every year. At the same time, recycling rates for plastic are declining, mostly due to increased costs associated with sorting and processing different types of plastic. Finding alternatives to plastic will require a new approach. Alder-Tek is pioneering the use of new materials, production methods, and delivery channels to drive a fundamental shift away from plastic and towards a sustainable alternative.

In the US, only 8%
of disposed plastic
is recycled.
Only 0.4kg of water is
used per 1kg of wooden
utensils manufactured.
25% of all waste sent to
recycling facilities is rejected
due to contamination.
With advanced raw materials handling, inventive product design, and industry-leading certifications, Alder-Tek is applying leading-edge thinking and technology at every stage of the wooden cutlery manufacturing process.
