World Centric

World Centric puts ethics first in each aspect of their business. The products themselves are all made from renewable plants like wheat, sugarcane, and corn, and require less energy to manufacture than traditional plastic disposables. Their paper products are sourced from sustainably managed sources certified by SFI or FSC, and many of their agricultural products are leftover waste that farmers would otherwise burn or throw away. Plus, World Centric isn't afraid of certifications‚ they prefer them! They know that transparency is important, and have certifications across the board that prove their claims. When it comes to the products, most items tote the USDA BioPreferred Program label, which means their items have been third-party certified to contain biobased content. World Centric also knows that where the products end up when you're done using them matters, so they've gained certifications by the Biodegradable Products Institute (BPI), Compost Manufacturing Alliance (CMA), and AUSTRIA OK Compost HOME Certification to back up the different levels of home and industrial compostability. On top of that, World Centric puts people first. They third party audits for fair working conditions based on Fair Labor Association Code of Conduct for factories in China. These guidelines establish best practices for wages, working conditions, and the treatment of all workers. They're also a part of the National Minority Supplier Development Council, a global leader in advancing business opportunities for Asian, Black, Hispanic and Native American suppliers in the corporate supply chain. World Centric is also a B Corp‚ and has been named a Best for the World honoree at that! Ranking in the top 10% of all certified B Corps, they meet strict third-party standards for their company ethics, transparency, and accountability for social and environmental sustainability. They're also a Green America Certified Business, meaning they're committed to using business as a platform for social change. If that wasn't enough, we've got one more reason to love World Centric. In addition to being a 1% for the Planet Member, meaning they pledge to give 1% of annual sales to environmental non-profits, World Centric takes it a step further. Since 2009, they've donated 25% of their profits to grassroots organizations fighting for social and environmental causes.
