How this score breaks down

Plastic in the product and its packaging Little plastic
Food-grade silicone, single-material spoons, 6.25 inches.
Microplastic shedding and leaching Sheds some
Silicone is not a petroleum plastic and is not a microplastic source the way plastic is, though as a polymer it can release trace particles or siloxanes, more so with heat and age. Whether silicone forms microplastics is still an open question.
End of life: persistence and recovery Mostly recovers
Not stated. Recyclable, repairable, or genuinely recovered; low persistence.
Plastic-derived chemicals of concern Some concern
Some plastic-contact chemistry is possible; see the notes.
Transparency and verification Partly disclosed
Single-line material identity; cure system, labs, origin, and packaging not disclosed (brand-wide pattern)
