A visible change in foodservice
Disposable forks and knives remain useful in catering, takeaway outlets, hotels, food trucks and events. More companies are replacing plastic cutlery with wooden alternatives because of regulation, customer expectations, presentation and brand consistency.
MYJAK is a Polish manufacturer of disposable wooden cutlery and a family-owned business with more than 40 years of manufacturing experience. We produce birch-wood forks and knives for foodservice, catering, wholesalers, food manufacturers and retail chains. View our wooden fork and knife range
1. Restrictions on single-use plastics
The EU Single-Use Plastics Directive prohibited the placing on the market of selected single-use plastic products, including plastic cutlery. This pushed foodservice companies to review their ranges, and wood became one of the most recognisable alternatives for disposable forks and knives.
2. A natural appearance
Wooden cutlery complements takeaway meals, premium catering, outdoor events and paper-based packaging. Its natural colour makes it easier to create a visually consistent set.

3. A clear message to customers
A wooden fork and knife are immediately visible and can support a brand’s effort to reduce conventional plastic and make more thoughtful material choices.
4. Everyday functionality
Well-designed wooden cutlery should be smooth, comfortable and suited to the food being served. Fork tines, the knife profile and dimensional consistency all matter, especially for automated packing.

5. Suitable for foodservice and large buyers
A manufacturer can supply volumes for restaurants, chains, wholesalers, distributors and private-label projects. Buyers should assess raw-material quality, surface finish, dimensions, packaging, logistics and repeatability.

6. Supporting environmental goals
Reusable products remain preferable wherever they are practical. When a single-use option is necessary, wooden cutlery can help reduce reliance on conventional plastic forks and knives.
