Making the Switch to Biodegradable Disposable Plates

Writer's picture: Noa KairyNoa Kairy

People who dislike washing dishes, and companies that cater for large numbers of people, often feel guilty for using single-use plastic plates. Luckily, there are now biodegradable disposable plates that are just as convenient but more environmentally friendly and better for your health.

Here’s why you should consider making the switch!

A healthier alternative to plastic plates

Source One Eco Friendly offers biodegradable disposable plates which are a convenient and healthier solution for disposable tableware. Made from sugarcane fiber, Bagasse plates do not contain any harmful chemicals like BPA or PVC. Bagasse also has no impact on the taste or aroma of food, unlike many plastic tableware materials.

One of the big problems with plastic and Styrofoam plates is that they melt in the microwave, cannot be reheated in the oven, and may release harmful chemicals like BPA or PVC into the hot food that they contain. Plates made from Bagasse can withstand both freezer cooling and oven temperatures up to 220 degrees Celsius, as well as reheating in a microwave, without melting,

Biodegradable disposable plates reduce waste

In today’s environmentally conscious world, it’s important to understand which single-use products are best for the environment. When it comes to disposable tableware, biodegradable and compostable plates are better than their plastic counterparts because they decompose naturally, instead of sitting in a landfill dump site forever.

Plastic plates are often used just once before being discarded, and it is estimated that approximately 25% of them are never properly disposed of. They end up littering our picnic sites and beaches, and polluting our rivers and oceans.

Source One Eco Friendly’s biodegradable disposable plates are 100% compostable and recyclable, together with the food scraps that are left on them at the end of a meal. Because they are made from a natural plant fiber, they decompose and release their nutrients back into the soil, so their net contribution to the planet is positive.

A sustainable food service solution

Bagasse plates and food containers are ideal for companies looking for a sustainable food service solution, because they have the following clear benefits:

  • Bagasse plates and food service containers are cost-comparable to non-biodegradable plates, making them easily affordable.

  • Bagasse eco-friendly disposable plates are stronger, sturdier, and better quality than most single-use plastic alternatives.

  • Bagasse disposable plates are also easier to use than regular tableware, because you can throw them away or compost them when you’re done with them, rather than having to wash them off and store them in the cupboard between uses.

  • Disposable tableware made from Bagasse offers major savings to company dining rooms, which can dispense with dishwashing machines and staff. You can even stop replacing broken ceramic plates when you switch to biodegradable disposable plates!

So, if you want to make sure that you and your company are choosing healthier tableware solutions and also being mindful of the environment, contact Source One to order biodegradable disposable plates and other green tableware products.
