From summer-time icy cool slushies to fruity acai bowls and some yummy appetizers, summer gatherings can be super fun. And, if you are keen on hosting one, there might be a way to make them low-waste and ditch doing the dishes later. Yes, we have disposable compostable products in mind. Instead of using those super flimsy single-use plastic plates or bowls, our range of compostable products like compostable bowls, etc can be a great choice for your gatherings. To start with, they are a planet-safe alternative. Moreover, they are quite convenient. For starters, you won't end up doing the dishes. Plus, they are super easy and guilt-free to dispose of too. Here's exactly what you need to know about them and how they can help you host plastic-free summer parties: Choosing Compostable Products for Summer Parties It's true that disposable plastic plates or bowls can be quite handy. However, the problem with them is that they are meant to be used just once. And, since they are made from non-renewable resources like petroleum, they take a long time to break down when disposed of. Some plastic disposable plates can take over 500 years to start breaking down in our ecosystem. So, while they stick around for centuries to come, these single-use plastic products interfere with our ecosystem. For instance, they are often mistaken as food and ingested by marine life or wildlife, which leads to choking entanglement, and even death. And, if we are talking facts, we lose over a million lives every year to ocean plastic pollution. Moreover, when these disposable plate products break down, they release a long trail of microplastics and toxins that get mixed up with the soil and end up entering our food chain. Another fact- an average human ingests a credit card worth of microplastics every week. On the other hand, eco-friendly products like tree-free paper napkins or compostable disposable plates are made straight from plants. With no reliance on non-renewable resources like plastic or trees, these products are simply made from sustainably-sourced plants. Besides being plant-based, these eco-friendly products are also certified for being compostable. That said, products like compostable kitchen paper towels, are designed to break down into nutrient-rich compost within just 90-1780 days after disposal. Unlike single-use plastic products that take centuries to break down and leave microplastics behind, these products break down fast and leave behind nutrient-rich compost which can be added to soil as manure.
