Do you have your big day all planned up? If yes, we are guessing you are still choosing compostable tableware over traditional tableware options. And, if this though sounds a bit too scary to have disposables in your wedding, we are here with something that is both sustainable and fancy. Yes, we are talking about compostable plates. And, no matter how they sound, they are just the perfect choice to be zero-waste at any kind of gathering, including a day as big as your wedding. So, here's everything you need to know about having compostable plates at your wedding for a super stylish yet sustainable event. Wait, What Are Compostable Plates? Compostable plates are usually made out of plant-based materials like sugarcane bagasse or naturally-fallen Areca palm leaves. We sell a wide variety of palm leaf plates and bagasse plates, which are certified compostable. Yes, that's true. We've gone to the ends of the world to get our products certified. So, besides them being USDA-certified for being plant-based, we have also backed their back-to-nature promise. This implies that once you are done using them, all you have to do is dispose of them in a compost bin. These disposable plates are certified to break down into compost within just a couple of weeks after you dispose of them. The compost formed can be mixed in with the soil to offer some important nutrients and increase the soil's water retention levels. What We Have In Store For You?
