Polycarbonate Cutlery

These are straightforward polypropylene spoons from Olympia's Kristallon range, supplied in packs of twelve. The red colouring makes them a practical choice wherever colour-coded cutlery systems are in use — a common requirement in care homes, schools, and contract catering environments where allergen or dietary segregation needs to be clearly visible at the point of service.

Polypropylene is a well-established material in commercial catering smallwares. It's lightweight, resistant to the kind of everyday knocks that would chip or crack more brittle materials, and holds up reliably through repeated dishwasher cycles. These spoons won't bend or warp in normal service conditions, and the red pigment is moulded in rather than applied as a surface finish, so the colour remains consistent with use.

Practically speaking, they're suited to canteen-style service, buffet and self-service counters, staff dining, and any setting where robust, disposable-looking but reusable cutlery is preferred over stainless steel — whether for cost control, loss reduction, or ease of replacement.

• Colour-coded red for allergen or dietary segregation
• Lightweight and shatterproof under normal handling
• Dishwasher safe for repeated use in busy operations
• Sold in packs of 12 for straightforward stock management

If you're unsure whether this pack size or colour suits your operation, or if you need to match existing Kristallon cutlery across a larger service, the team is happy to help you work out the right quantity and specification.

The Olympia Kristallon range of polypropylene cutlery is a practical choice for catering environments where durability and hygiene management are priorities. These green-handled knives are designed for repeated use in busy service settings, offering a lightweight but robust alternative to stainless steel cutlery where breakage, loss, or colour-coded allergen protocols are a consideration.

Polypropylene cutlery of this type is commonly used in healthcare catering, outdoor and event catering, school meal services, and high-volume canteen environments where cutlery goes missing or gets damaged at pace. The material holds up well to commercial dishwasher cycles and resists the kind of chipping or shattering associated with polycarbonate alternatives.

The colour coding is one of the more practical aspects of this range. Green is widely associated with allergen management systems, making these knives a sensible choice where operators need a visible, consistent way to separate specific dietary requirements at the point of service. The distinct colour also helps with stock control in multi-outlet or tray-based service operations.

• Suitable for commercial dishwasher use without rapid degradation
• Lightweight enough for patient tray or assisted dining settings
• Colour coding supports allergen or dietary separation protocols
• Shatterproof construction reduces risk in high-footfall environments
• Available in packs of 12, making stock rotation straightforward

These knives are well suited to operations that go through cutlery quickly or operate in environments where metal cutlery presents a practical or safety concern. For operations with lower attrition or a preference for a more traditional table setting, stainless steel cutlery remains the standard choice.

If you're unsure whether polypropylene cutlery is the right fit for your service style or allergen management approach, we're happy to talk it through.

The Olympia Kristallon forks are made from polypropylene — a lightweight, robust plastic widely used in catering environments where standard stainless steel cutlery is impractical or a loss risk. The green colouring makes these well suited to colour-coded service systems, whether for allergen management, dietary differentiation, or simply to keep sets organised across a busy operation.

Polypropylene cutlery of this type is commonly found in staff canteens, healthcare catering, education facilities, poolside or outdoor dining, and any setting where cutlery regularly goes missing or needs to withstand rough handling. It won't shatter if dropped, which matters in fast-paced environments where breakages create both a safety hazard and a replacement cost.

• Colour-coded green finish supports allergen or dietary management workflows
• Shatterproof construction reduces breakage waste in high-turnover settings
• Lightweight and easy to handle for all service styles
• Suitable for dishwasher cleaning in commercial catering operations

These are a practical, no-fuss option rather than a premium tableware choice. They're not intended to replace stainless steel in a fine dining context, but for the environments described above they perform reliably and keep replacement costs low. Supplied in packs of 12, so it's worth considering your full cover count and typical loss rate when deciding on quantities.

If you're unsure whether polypropylene cutlery is the right fit for your service style, or you'd like guidance on quantities for your operation, the team is happy to help.

The Olympia Kristallon polypropylene knife is a plastic cutlery option designed specifically for environments where standard metal cutlery carries a safety or compliance risk. Made from a robust polypropylene material, these knives are virtually unbreakable under normal service conditions and will not shatter if dropped, which makes them a practical choice where durability and safety both matter.

In day-to-day service, polypropylene cutlery of this type is most commonly used in care homes, secure facilities, schools, and outdoor or event catering where metal cutlery is either impractical or restricted. The yellow colour coding is particularly useful for allergen management — many kitchens adopt a colour-coded system to keep utensils and service items separated by allergen category, and having dedicated cutlery in a distinct colour supports that process clearly and consistently.

Key practical considerations for this product include:

• Yellow colour coding supports allergen separation and HACCP compliance
• Polypropylene construction resists breaking and shattering under normal use
• Suitable for environments where metal cutlery is restricted or unsuitable
• Sold in packs of 12, making stock management straightforward
• Lightweight and easy to handle for both staff and end users

These knives are not intended as a direct replacement for stainless steel cutlery in mainstream restaurant service. They are best suited to specific operational contexts where the material properties or colour coding provide a genuine functional benefit. If you are unsure whether polypropylene cutlery is the right choice for your setting, or need guidance on building a complete colour-coded set, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

The Olympia Kristallon range of polypropylene cutlery is designed specifically for commercial catering environments where breakage, contamination risk, or theft of conventional metallic cutlery is a practical concern. These knives are moulded from a robust polypropylene material that resists shattering under normal service conditions, making them a sensible choice wherever standard stainless steel cutlery is unsuitable or impractical.

In everyday service, polypropylene cutlery of this type is commonly used in secure units, healthcare settings, outdoor catering, poolside dining, and high-turnover casual dining operations where cutlery loss is a recurring cost. The red colourway also supports colour-coded systems, which some operators use to distinguish between allergen-safe covers, separate dining areas, or specific dietary requirements within the same service.

From an operational standpoint, the key practical advantages are:

• Shatterproof construction reduces breakage-related waste and replacement costs
• Red colour coding supports allergen management or zoned service systems
• Lightweight and comfortable for guests who may struggle with heavier metallic cutlery
• Dishwasher safe for standard commercial pass-through and rack-type machines
• Supplied in a pack of 12, suited to topping up existing stock or trialling the range

There are no electrical, gas, or installation requirements — these are a straightforward smallware purchase. The main consideration is whether polypropylene cutlery meets the aesthetic expectations of your operation; it is well suited to casual, welfare, or outdoor settings but may not be appropriate for formal dining covers.

This product is best suited to operators in healthcare, education, events, secure environments, or any setting where durability and colour coding take priority over a traditional cutlery finish. If your volume requirements are higher, packs with greater quantities may be available within the range.

If you are unsure whether this type of cutlery fits your service requirement or need to discuss colour-coding protocols, the team is happy to help you work through it.

The Olympia Kristallon polypropylene knife is a plastic cutlery option designed specifically for environments where standard metal cutlery is unsuitable or poses a safety risk. Made from durable polypropylene, these knives are shatterproof and resistant to the kind of everyday impact that would crack or chip lesser plastic items.

In practice, polypropylene cutlery of this type is commonly used in secure units, healthcare settings, schools, outdoor catering, and high-throughput welfare catering where accountability for cutlery or reduced risk of injury is a priority. The blue colouring also supports colour-coded systems — useful in allergen management or environments where cutlery needs to be visually tracked.

A few practical points worth considering:

• Shatterproof construction reduces the risk of sharp breakages during service
• Blue colour aids visual identification in colour-coded catering systems
• Supplied in packs of 12, making stock management straightforward
• Lightweight and easy to handle, suiting high-volume or assisted dining settings
• Not intended as a direct replacement for stainless steel cutlery in standard commercial dining

These knives are best suited to operators who have a specific operational or compliance reason to use plastic cutlery — secure facilities, outdoor events, or settings with vulnerable users. For standard restaurant or café use, stainless steel remains the more practical choice.

If you are specifying cutlery for a particular environment and want to discuss the right option, we are happy to help.

The Olympia Kristallon polypropylene spoons are lightweight, colour-coded cutlery items designed for commercial catering environments where durability and allergen or dietary separation are practical concerns. Supplied in a pack of twelve, the yellow colourway supports colour-coded service systems commonly used in care homes, schools, hospitals, and contract catering operations.

Polypropylene cutlery of this type is well suited to high-turnover settings where breakage and replacement costs are a consideration. Unlike standard metallic cutlery, polypropylene pieces resist chipping and do not shatter, which makes them a practical choice for outdoor events, healthcare settings, or anywhere that shattered cutlery would present a safety or contamination risk.

They are less suited to formal dining settings where presentation expectations would point towards stainless cutlery. If your requirement is for a full colour-coded cutlery set or higher volumes, there are broader options within the Kristallon range worth considering.

If you are building a colour-coded cutlery system or are unsure which pieces best fit your service setup, feel free to get in touch with the team — it is a straightforward conversation that can save a wasted order.

The Olympia Kristallon range offers polypropylene cutlery designed for commercial catering environments where conventional flatware would be impractical or unsafe. These forks are moulded from a robust polypropylene material that resists shattering and cracking under normal service conditions — a useful characteristic in settings where breakage, theft, or poolside and outdoor use makes standard stainless steel unsuitable.

In practice, polypropylene cutlery of this type is commonly used in healthcare and care home settings, outdoor events, lido cafés, festival catering, and high-turnover fast-casual operations.

• Shatterproof construction suited to outdoor, poolside, and healthcare environments
• Colour-coded yellow finish supports allergen or zone management
• Lightweight and easy to handle for high-volume self-service settings
• Dishwasher safe for straightforward, consistent cleaning routines
• Sold in a 12-pack, practical for building stock incrementally

The Olympia Kristallon range of polypropylene spoons is a practical choice for catering operations where durability and easy identification are day-to-day priorities. Made from polypropylene rather than standard stainless steel, these spoons are resistant to impact and will not shatter if dropped — a straightforward advantage in busy front-of-house or institutional settings.

In practice, polypropylene cutlery of this type is commonly used in schools, hospitals, care homes, staff canteens, and outdoor or event catering where the risk of breakage or loss is higher than in a conventional restaurant setting.

It is worth noting that polypropylene cutlery is generally suited to specific operational contexts rather than fine-dining or upmarket table settings, where the material and finish may not meet the expected presentation standard. For operations running larger volumes or seeking a broader range of colour options within this collection, other pack sizes and piece types are available.

If you are unsure whether this type of cutlery is the right fit for your service style or volume, the team is happy to talk it through with you.

The Olympia Kristallon range is a well-established line of polypropylene cutlery designed specifically for catering environments where standard flatware presents a breakage or safety risk. These forks are moulded from durable polypropylene rather than metal or fragile materials, making them genuinely resistant to shattering under normal service conditions.

In practice, polypropylene cutlery of this type is commonly used in outdoor catering, poolside dining, healthcare and care home settings, and anywhere that broken cutlery creates a hygiene or safety concern. The red colourway is particularly useful for colour-coded service systems — for example, distinguishing cutlery used in allergen-controlled or specific dietary environments.

From an operational standpoint, the key advantages are straightforward:

• Resistant to shattering, reducing waste and safety incidents
• Colour-coded red finish supports allergen and dietary management protocols
• Lightweight construction suited to high-turnover, outdoor, or mobile catering
• Dishwasher safe for straightforward turnaround during service
• Sold in a 12-pack for easy stock management

It is worth noting that polypropylene cutlery, while durable, is not intended as a permanent replacement for stainless steel in formal or fine dining settings. It is best suited to environments where robustness, safety, and colour coding take priority over premium presentation.

If you are setting up a colour-coded system across multiple covers, or need guidance on quantities for your service volume, the team is happy to help you work through what you need.

The Olympia Kristallon range is a well-established line of polypropylene cutlery used widely in contract catering, staff restaurants, healthcare settings, and anywhere that durability and replacement cost matter more than the weight of stainless steel. These spoons are moulded from polypropylene rather than cast from metal, which makes them resistant to shattering and significantly more tolerant of the rough handling that comes with high-volume clearing and dishwashing cycles.

In practice, polypropylene cutlery of this type holds up well in busy environments where loss and breakage rates with conventional cutlery would otherwise add up quickly. The green colour serves a practical purpose beyond aesthetics — it supports colour-coded systems commonly used in healthcare, education, and allergen-aware catering operations where visual differentiation between cutlery sets is a straightforward way to reduce cross-contamination risk.

The Kristallon spoons are dishwasher safe and designed to withstand repeated commercial wash cycles without warping or discolouring under normal operating conditions. They are lightweight, which suits self-service and assisted-dining contexts where ease of handling matters. The pack of twelve is a practical stocking quantity for smaller operations, though larger sites will typically want to order in greater volume to maintain adequate cover through service and washing cycles.

These spoons are well suited to care homes, schools, staff canteens, festival catering, and similar environments. If your operation requires a full colour-coded set or a different colour to match an existing system, it is worth checking what other options are available across the range before ordering.

If you are unsure which colour or quantity best fits your service setup, the team is happy to help you work it out.

The Olympia Kristallon range of polypropylene cutlery is designed for environments where standard stainless steel or melamine tableware carries too much risk of breakage, injury, or loss. These forks are moulded from a robust polypropylene material that resists shattering on impact, making them a practical choice where safety or security is a priority.

In practice, polypropylene cutlery of this type is commonly used in healthcare settings, outdoor events, poolside service, welfare catering, and secure environments. The blue colouring can also serve a food safety purpose, making items easier to identify and account for during service and clearing — a consideration that matters in certain compliance-conscious kitchens.

From an operational standpoint, these forks offer a few straightforward advantages:

• Resistant to shattering and cracking under normal service conditions
• Lightweight and easy to handle for both staff and guests
• Blue colour aids visibility for stock control and allergen-safe workflows
• Suitable for single-use or repeated low-intensity service cycles
• Supplied in packs of 12, making stock management straightforward

There are practical limits worth noting. Polypropylene cutlery is not suited to high-temperature dishwasher cycles — repeated commercial washing at high heat can cause warping or discolouration over time. These are also not designed as a long-term replacement for stainless steel in a conventional restaurant setting; they are a functional solution for specific service environments where the material properties matter more than aesthetics.

This product is best suited to healthcare caterers, event operators, outdoor hospitality, and any setting with specific safety or compliance requirements. If your priority is appearance or longevity across heavy service cycles, a stainless steel or heavier-gauge option would be worth considering instead.

If you are unsure whether polypropylene cutlery is the right fit for your operation, we are happy to talk it through.

The Olympia Kristallon range is a well-established line of polypropylene cutlery designed specifically for high-turnover, high-risk catering environments where standard metal cutlery is impractical or unsuitable. These blue teaspoons are a straightforward, functional item — lightweight, impact-resistant, and colour-coded to support catering operations where tracking and segregation matter.

In practice, polypropylene cutlery like this is routinely used in schools, hospital wards, care homes, outdoor catering, and secure environments. The blue colouring assists with colour-coded service systems and makes individual pieces easier to spot and account for. The compact 143mm length also makes them better suited to younger users or settings where a standard teaspoon is too large.

From an operational standpoint, the key advantages are straightforward:

• Dishwasher-safe and suitable for autoclave sterilisation, supporting strict hygiene protocols
• Resistant to cracking and snapping under normal service conditions
• Colour-coded blue for segregation or allergen-management systems
• Suitable for both indoor and outdoor use without degrading
• Sold in packs of 12, making stock management simple

These are not intended as a replacement for metal cutlery in standard restaurant or hotel service — they are a practical solution for specific settings where durability, hygiene compliance, or user safety take priority over aesthetics. Stock levels will depend on cover counts and dishwash cycles; operations with high throughput or frequent losses should factor in holding additional packs.

If you are unsure how many packs you need for your service volume, or whether this is the right cutlery format for your operation, the team is happy to help you work it out before you order.
