Question from Debbie
I wanted to check to see if you’re familiar with any plastic-ware, plastic glasses and paper/plastic plates, napkins & table cloths that are now on the market and are environmentally friendly products. We’ll be celebrating my daughter’s graduation and are looking for something that we can hopefully purchase at Target or Walmart for her party. It is casual (picnic in local park), so no glassware is allowed. I’ve already checked with Target and Walmart to no avail. Any ideas?
Debra’s Answer
There are biodegradable cups, bowls, and plates made from “bagasse”, which is sugar cane fiber that is a byproduct of the sugar refining process. Supplies are virtually unlimited, as a huge amount of sugar is processed internationally.
Flatware is made available made from potato starch and vegetable oil.
One place to find them is Full Circle Planet.
