5 Reasons
to Choose Eco-friendly tableware
Reduce marine pollution
Every year, the oceans are polluted with 18 billion pounds of single-use plastic—that's the equivalent of 5 food bags of plastic waste for every foot of coastline in the world!
Reduce landfill waste
Eco-friendly tableware is recyclable or compostable and will biodegrade on its own. This reduces the waste we send to landfill each year.
No risk of toxic chemicals
Many eco-friendly tableware use all-natural adhesives and are chemical-free, which means you can microwave them without releasing chemicals. Also, unlike plastic, eco-friendly boards do not release chemicals or gases into the environment after processing.
