What UK buyers actually say
Switching to Thooshan was the most straightforward compliance decision we've made. Council permit approved first time. Guests comment on the cutlery every event.
14 festivals annually. Post-event plastic clean-up was enormous. Thooshan's bulk packs and composting guidance have fundamentally changed our operations and our council relationships.
Our corporate clients now ask specifically for biodegradable cutlery in tender documents. Thooshan lets us tick that box at a price point that works commercially.
