BIODEGRADABLE DISPOSABLE TABLEWARE
(BY USING PALM TREE PRODUCTS)
[CODE NO.3854]
With the growing popularity of sustainability, many companies have begun using environmentally friendly materials. This is particularly significant for the disposable tableware market. Most plastic utensils, paper plates, and styro foam carrying containers are used once for a few hours and then left in a landfill for hundreds of years before they degrade. Efforts have been made in recent years to create single-use tableware that biodegrades in a shorter time frame. Despite their widespread use, single-use cups have not received an environmentally conscious Upgrade.
In an effort to eliminate the use of paper, styrofoam, and plastic from the single-use tableware industry, other more sustainable options have been innovated for the market. However, they each have a reason that they fail at replacing the single-use cup market. Table below compares these sustainable options versus paper, styrofoam, and plastic, highlighting key advantages and disadvantages.
