forks and spoons are usually made of plastic or metal i.e. steel or silver
Because the world ran out of plastic.
Because metal is easy to form into spoons. But spoons don't have to be made of metal; I have some Traditional Chinese soup spoons that are ceramic, and wooden, plastic and nylon spoons are readily available.
It depends on the type of plastic the spoon is made of. Most plastic spoons are not recyclable due to being a low-grade plastic that recycling facilities cannot process. It's best to check with your local recycling program for specific guidelines on recycling plastic utensils.
Plastic spoons are usually lighter, smoother, and more resistant to moisture compared to wooden spoons. Wooden spoons are typically heavier, have a warmer feel, and are less likely to scratch or damage cookware.
Metal spoons are better thermal conductors than plastic spoons. Metal materials, such as stainless steel or copper, are able to transfer heat more effectively than plastic materials, making metal spoons better suited for tasks that require heat conduction.
The plastic used to make a plastic spoon is usually a thermoplastic called polypropylene. A plastic spoon would be made in the process called injection molding, where thermoplastic resin is injected into a metal die, containing a cavity in the shape of a spoon. Thermoplastics are a type of plastic where they can be formed using heat to soften and melt them. Polypropylene would be specifically chosen for a spoon because it has the properties of higher heat tolerance, meaning the spoon could be used to stir a hot cup of coffee without problems. Usually food grade PP is used for spoon. Besides PP, PS is also used. IF any interest in buying plastic spoon moulds, pls contact sinomould-13@hotmai.com
The density of a real spoon would depend on the material it is made from. Common materials used for spoons include stainless steel, silver, and plastic, each with different densities. Generally, stainless steel spoons have a density of around 7.9 g/cm3, while silver spoons have a density of about 10.5 g/cm3.
Spoons are made from many materials such as metal and plastic, which are the most common, to wood, glass and ceramic.

spoons will bend or melt at high temperatures
Metal spoons are typically made from stainless steel, which is a durable and corrosion-resistant alloy. Some spoons may also be made from other metals such as silver or aluminum, depending on the desired properties and intended use.
