Walmart launches private brand compostable cutlery

Walmart has launched Great Value Compostable Cutlery, the company’s 100% commercially compostable private brand cutlery, made in the U.S. Starting today, the assortment can be found in 1,400 Walmart stores nationwide and online, offering 24- and 48-count packs of commercially compostable forks, knives, spoons and assorted cutlery. Walmart says it hopes to expand the product to additional stores in the coming future.

The 24-count packs will be available for $1.48, the company’s entry price point for cutlery, while the 48-count pack is available for $2.96. 

Great Value Compostable Cutlery is certified by BPI, an authority on compostable products and packaging in North America and is commercially compostable through industrial composting facilities. 

Walmart will work with BeyondGREEN, a certified minority-owned U.S.-based business, to produce the cutlery.
