Overview

Disposable wooden cutlery is now one of the most popular plastic-free choices for restaurants, cafés, caterers, supermarkets and retail brands. But “wooden cutlery” covers many shapes and sizes, and choosing the right one for each use makes a real difference to your customers.

In this first episode of Wooden Cutlery 101, we walk you through the eight shapes we make most often at KEGO, what each one is designed for, and how they are usually packed. All of them are made from Vietnamese Magnolia conifera – a plantation-grown wood with a naturally light colour, a smooth polished finish and no noticeable taste or smell.

Overview

Tissue paper is an everyday essential—present in homes, restaurants, offices, hospitals, and anywhere hygiene matters. But with so many options available, choosing the right one can be surprisingly challenging. At KeGo, we believe that high-quality tissues make a real difference in comfort, cleanliness, and customer experience.

Overview

Every time you grab a steaming coffee from your favorite café or pick up a cold drink at a party, have you ever paused to wonder how that simple paper cup became such a staple of our daily lives? We often take it for granted, yet the technology and engineering behind paper cup production are surprisingly sophisticated. Every stage—from sourcing eco-friendly raw materials to the final packaging—plays a crucial role.

Overview

As global demand for eco-friendly packaging continues to rise, bagasse—the fibrous by-product of sugarcane processing—has quickly become one of the most important alternatives to plastic, foam, and traditional paper-based materials. Once treated as a low-value waste product, sugarcane bagasse is now a key raw material driving the shift toward sustainable, compostable food packaging.

Overview of the Take-away Food Market

In 2024, the global take-away food market was valued at around USD 150 billion and is expected to reach USD 300 billion by 2032, with a CAGR of 9%.

Sustainable Solutions for Every Dining Experience

As the world embraces a greener lifestyle, disposable wooden cutlery has become a smart alternative to single-use plastic. Beyond its practical purpose, it represents a conscious shift toward sustainability, combining natural beauty, convenience, and environmental responsibility.

The Green Trend in the Modern Food Industry

In recent years, consumers have become increasingly aware of environmental and health issues, especially when it comes to choosing food and beverages. They now not only prioritize natural and healthy products but also pay attention to packaging materials and accompanying utensils.

What is EUDR? Who Does It Apply To?

The EU Deforestation Regulation – formally known as Regulation (EU) 2023/1115 on deforestation-free products (EUDR) – came into force on June 29, 2023, with an initial 18-month transition period. While implementation was originally set for December 30, 2024, the European Commission has proposed a 12-month delay following strong calls from stakeholders, allowing businesses more time to prepare. As a result, large companies must comply with the regulation by December 30, 2025, and small and micro-enterprises (SMEs) by June 30, 2026.

When you hold a wooden spoon in your hand, you’re not just holding a utensil. You’re holding a quiet piece of nature – shaped by time, touched by the earth, and uniquely marked by what we call wood grain.

Wood grain is nature’s fingerprint – the way a tree records its growth, seasons, struggles, and strength. The swirls, lines, and curves you see on a wooden fork or knife are not flaws. They are stories.
