Are you big on hosting summer gatherings at your place? If yes, we bet disposables or single-use products can come quite in handy. And, if you make a choice for compostable disposables, well, your gatherings can be low-waste too! Products like a compostable plate are quite a better choice when compared with disposable plastic plates. For starters, single-use plastic plates are made from non-renewable resources like petroleum. Besides being extremely scarce, this resource also takes a lot of additional resources to be extracted and carved into disposable plates. Other than this, these plastic plates also take a very long time to break down in our ecosystem. To be precise, they can take over centuries and still manage to leave microplastics behind when they biodegrade. That said, here's why our bagasse plates are a better, more sustainable alternative to single-use plastic plates. Also, read on to explore the benefits of using this compostable bagasse plate. Compostable Bagasse Plate over Disposable Plastic Plates When it comes to making a sustainable choice, bagasse plates are a better option, when compared to single-use plastic plates. As stated above, single-use plastic plates are made from non-renewable resources that take a lot of time to break down in our ecosystem. So, while they stick around to biodegrade, these disposable plates are often disposed of in our oceans or landfills, where they lead to choking, entanglement, and even death in marine and wildlife. Plus, when it's time for them to break down, these disposable plastic plates often break down into microplastics and release toxins. These microplastics get mixed up with soil or the ocean waves and end up entering our food chain. In fact, an average human consumes about a credit card worth of microplastics every week. Consuming microplastics can lead to serious health concerns like cancer. Our range of compostable plates, on the other hand, is made straight from plants.
