Currently, there is no specific study that provides an exact timeframe for the degradation of wooden cutlery in a landfill. However, it is known that landfills are designed to slow down the decomposition process compared to natural environments. Therefore, the breakdown of wooden cutlery in a landfill will take longer than in a backyard compost.
As a natural material, our birch cutlery can be compared to food waste in terms of decomposition time. Food waste is estimated to decompose within 6-24 months in a landfill. On the other hand, plastic can take anywhere from 10-100 years to degrade in a landfill.
