Where these two actually differ
- We flag Bleach residues and dioxins, Coating migration (if polymeric) and Microbial growth and mold on the and not on the World Centric.
- We flag Proprietary coating chemical migration, Moisture and microbial growth in fiber matrix, Coating degradation under heat or fatty foods and Recycling contamination if misdisposed on the World Centric and not on the .
- The is Bleached paperboard (compostable/food-service grade) where the World Centric is Fiber-based (wood pulp/molded fiber), compostable coating, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
- The gap is 75 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the World Centric is the one to buy.
