greenli
Disposable cutlery

The disposable cut lery from greenli made a very good impression in our test.
The cutlery is a comparatively environmentally friendly alternative to the usual disposable plastic cutlery. It is compostable and does not give off any flavour when eaten. Nevertheless, it would be desirable for the spoon to be slightly deeper so that the food can be picked up more easily.
Overall, the set was delivered quickly and in a space-saving manner and gave a good overall impression.

Advantages

✅ Good workmanship
✅ No plastic
✅ No wood flavour
✅ Stability
✅ Compostable

Disadvantages

❌ Sustainability
❌ Spoon not particularly deep
❌ Not particularly sharp

The test

General information

We have looked at and tested the product in detail in a practical test. In the following, we take a closer look at the features and impressions. The product is subjected to our test procedure from the packaging, materials and quality to the range of functions and handling.
To give you a quick overview, we work with a points system. The maximum possible number of points per area is 100 points. The final overall score is calculated from the average of all tested features, taking into account the respective weightings.

The LFGB labelling is present. This ensures that the product does not pose a risk to the consumer if it comes into contact with food or mucous membranes.
Overall, no plastic was used and superfluous storage space was avoided as far as possible. The packaging is therefore comparatively very sustainable.

After unpacking

Package contents and instructions

ℹ️ Most people’s first impression after unpacking is immediately memorable. Are the contents of the pack complete and does the manufacturer make it as easy as possible for me to use the product straight away?

An e-mail address is provided for questions and problems. There is also a link to the manufacturer greenli’s website and social media.

Box contents after opening

The light brown disposable cutlery from greenli is well made. It has no sharp edges or other imperfections. It feels pleasant and sturdy.
It has a slight inherent odour, which is due to the fact that it is made exclusively from birch wood.
According to the manufacturer, it has no coating or other harmful substances. The disposable cutlery from greenli is therefore an environmentally friendly alternative to conventional disposable plastic cutlery.

This is what our practical test showed

Does the manufacturer keep its advertising promises?

ℹ️ Our practical test is the most relevant and therefore the most important. Here, the product has to undergo a wide range of criteria and tests. We check the functions and product promises of the test article.

CriterionRemarkScore achieved*
StabilityRobust, withstands any resistance when eating100 points
OdourLight wood odour80 points
PracticalitySpoon too flat for soups, knife not really sharp60 points
Flavourdoes not release any flavour of its own into the food100 points
Total85 points
Weighting: 40%
*The maximum score is 100 points

The disposable cutlery from greenli impresses with its stability and clean finish.
However, the shape of the spoon is a little too flat to be able to spoon up soups, for example. In addition, the knife is not really sharp, but this is normal for disposable cutlery.
On a positive note, the cutlery does not release any flavour into the food and can withstand heavy use.
It is also compostable due to its ecological production method and is therefore very convincing in terms of its sustainability compared to other disposable cutlery.

Price/performance ratio

and ratings from consumers

ℹ️ Finally, we look at how the product compares to the competition. Can it keep up with the competition in terms of price and quality? Would we generally recommend buying it? We also analyse consumer reviews and check whether the critical and positive reviews are actually justified.

CriterionRemarkPoints achieved*

Weighting: 20%
*The maximum score is 100 points

On the Amazon platform, consumers have given the product an average rating of 4.3 stars. The wood odour was criticised. Many customers like the quality, stability and sustainability of the product.
In our practical test, we were able to confirm that although the wood odour is present, it was not unpleasant.
Otherwise, we can agree that the disposable cutlery is very robust and has a high-quality finish.

Prices of up to €20 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very inexpensive products are available from as little as €8. With a price of €15.99, the disposable cutlery from greenli is currently in the middle price segment. The price ratio is reasonable for the quality and scope of services offered.
