In a school canteen, choosing the product is a safety decision. Knives are not handed to younger age groups at all, and forks and spoons need rounded edges. The second issue is how parents read it: a parent who sees a compostable product in their child's hand instead of plastic treats it as a sign of the school's standards. At university level, volume and cost come to the front.
