Biodegradable tableware is a great alternative to plastic tableware because it is biodegradable, chemical-free, aesthetically pleasing, and easy to decompose. With so many advantages and a presence that is good for the environment, it is no surprise that biodegradable tableware is so popular among environmentalists as a better alternative to plastic tableware.
This eco-friendly disposable tableware combines the convenience and flexibility of disposability with the durability and advantages of being fully biodegradable. It doesn’t harm nature, but rather has a good impact on it. Here are some of the most fascinating facts about biodegradable plates, straws, bowls, spoons, and forks that will convince you to make a change.
Nature gets nourished
Yes, that’s right! Yes, you read that right. I’m sure many of you are scratching your heads and wondering how? So there you have it. Unlike plastic, these items do not release any toxic chemicals into the earth because they are made from natural ingredients such as sugar cane pulp. They can decompose organically, which will help nourish the soil.
Base materials made from renewable resources
Plants such as corn, potato starch, sugar cane pulp, and various vegetable oils are used to make biodegradable plates. They are also made using environmentally friendly, sustainable technologies that do not harm the environment. The finished products are non-toxic.
Reducing marine pollution
We’re not surprised that whales are dying from ingesting plastic. This sobering fact reveals the heinous way we are destroying the planet by throwing plastic waste into the ocean and murdering these lovely and innocent aquatic creatures. Each year, 18 billion pounds of single-use plastics of all types pollute the oceans. Plastic has become a major cause of irreversible destruction of ecosystems, coral reefs, and marine life. Pieces of plastic floating in the water are wrongly consumed by marine life and birds. Using biodegradable tableware will help reduce ocean pollution.
Child Friendly
Plastic food containers can help you store food, but you don’t realize how harmful they are to your child’s health and the environment. Plastic containers release chemicals such as bisphenol A (BPA) and phthalates when heated. Agricultural waste such as sugar cane pulp is used to make biodegradable plates and other tableware. These are harmless to children. In addition, these sugarcane pulp plates and cups can be stored in the refrigerator, freezer, or microwave oven. Isn’t that incredible? By switching to biodegradable tableware, you’re not only keeping your kids healthy and chemical-free, but you’re also helping the planet.
Avoid exposure to toxic substances
When you decide to use eco-friendly tableware instead of plastic, you’re reducing the number of toxins you’re exposed to. When plastic food containers and plates are heated, harmful compounds are released that can contaminate your food. Plates and cutlery made from biodegradable materials will not harm your meals or the environment.
