Question 4

Existing product samples ship within 2-3 working days; customized samples typically take 1-4 weeks depending on design and proofing. We confirm the exact delivery date upfront and send a tracking number when your sample ships.

Accepted Answer

Stock samples: 2–3 days. Custom samples: 1–4 weeks. If you order existing products, your sample ships within 2–3 working days. For customized samples, plan for 1–4 weeks — the design and proofing steps take the most time. We confirm the exact date before we start. Existing products → 2–3 working days to dispatch. Customized products → 1–4 weeks, mostly design and proofing. You get the exact delivery date upfront, plus a tracking number when it ships. What you can expect Existing products Your sizes are already on the line, so we pull and ship in 2–3 working days. Customized products Draft → material → proofing → your approval. That chain takes 1–4 weeks; complex designs run longer. Ways to speed it up 1 Send complete specs in one email Sizes, finish, quantity — to wood@chinawood.com. Fewer back-and-forths, faster start. 2 Approve the draft quickly Proofing is the biggest time factor for custom samples. Fast feedback cuts days off. 3 Tell us your deadline Need it sooner? Mention your target date — we'll fit it where the schedule allows. Before you ask Will I get a tracking number? Yes — the moment your sample ships, we email you the tracking link. Why do custom samples take longer? Every step waits on your confirmation — design draft, material, and proofing. Fewer rounds, faster delivery. Can you rush my sample? Tell us your deadline when you inquire, and we will push to meet it. Get your exact delivery date — tell us what you need to sample.

Question 6

Compostable means a product breaks down into CO2, water, and biomass within about 90 days under managed composting conditions (EN 13432 / ASTM D6400), leaving no toxic residue. Natural wood and bamboo tableware are compostable by nature.

Accepted Answer

Short Answer Compostable means a product breaks down — via oxygen, moisture, and microbes — into CO2, water, and biomass, usually within ~90 days under managed conditions, leaving no toxic residue (EN 13432 / ASTM D6400). Natural wood and bamboo tableware are compostable by nature. How It Works 1 CollectOrganic waste stream. 2 ConditionHeat, oxygen, moisture. 3 Decompose~90 days by microbes. 4 ReturnSoil gets nutrients. Why It Matters Meets EU/US plastic regulations. Guarantees a defined breakdown timeline. Gives your brand a verifiable eco story. Need certified compostable tableware? Browse YADA's range or request samples.

Question 7

Biodegradable means breakdown over an unspecified timeline (months to centuries); compostable is a certified claim of breakdown within ~90 days under specific conditions, leaving no toxic residue. Every compostable item is biodegradable, but not vice versa.

Accepted Answer

Short Answer Biodegradable means breakdown over an open-ended timeline (months to centuries). Compostable is stricter: breakdown into CO2, water, and biomass within ~90 days under managed conditions, with no toxic residue (EN 13432 / ASTM D6400). Every compostable item is biodegradable, not vice versa — for tableware, "compostable" is the safer claim. Key Differences Factor Biodegradable Compostable Timeline Months to years, unspecified ~90 days, defined Conditions Any natural environment Managed composting Certification No single standard EN 13432 / ASTM D6400 Which to Choose Pick compostable when regulators or customers require verified end-of-life. Untreated birch and bamboo tableware are compostable by nature. Need verified compostable tableware? See the range or request certification documents.
