England banned single-use plastic cutlery, plates, trays and polystyrene food containers from 1 October 2023, following Scotland in 2022 and alongside Wales. Takeaways, caterers, contract-catering firms and packaging wholesalers across the UK have had to replace plastic cutlery entirely — and wood has become the most common replacement.
Unitech Wooden Cutlery (Rajendra Trading Company) has manufactured disposable birchwood cutlery in Ahmedabad, India, since 2007. We ship container loads to UK importers, catering-supply wholesalers and online brands, with plain bulk packing or your own private-label packaging.

Plain birchwood with no plastic content or coating — a direct replacement for the cutlery banned in England from October 2023 and in Scotland and Wales.
Shipments routed to the UK's main container ports, from Mundra or Nhava Sheva, with typical ocean transit of about 25–35 days.
Bulk cartons sized for wholesalers serving takeaways, cafés, schools and contract caterers.
Your brand on the box, printed sleeves or hot-stamp logos on the cutlery, for distributors and marketplace sellers.
Spoons, forks, knives, stirrers and skewers combined in one 20ft or 40ft container to match your stock plan.
Buying from the manufacturer rather than a trader keeps pricing and quality under one roof.
