Disposable plates are a must for your outdoor barbecue

　　As summer approaches, we are all eager to get outside and enjoy the sunshine. Outdoor barbecues have become a better way to celebrate. No matter where it's held, some of the same problems exist. Nothing is more convenient than a disposable plate that is self-contained and does not need to be cleaned. It's worth noting that the water and energy required to clean the crockery used at a party or event is a sign of its environmental potential. The inevitable breakage caused by overly enthusiastic guests can also lead to disposable dishes going into landfills. Knowing this, what are the options for eco-friendly disposable plates?

　　Bamboo plates
　　On the face of it, bamboo tableware is a promising alternative. It is a sustainable natural resource: bamboo regenerates quickly after harvest and has a relatively small footprint. However, responsible cultivation is not common among farmers. Some practice a form of intensive agriculture called monoculture. This method prioritizes one crop at the expense of others, which can destroy the diversity of local ecosystems.

　　Paper plates
　　Many paper plates are treated or coated with plastic to prevent grease from seeping in or to help the plate retain its shape when wet with food. They do not biodegrade in landfills and are not compostable. Once soiled, paper plates also become non-recyclable. Most end up in landfills and can take up to five years to decompose.

　　Plastic Plate
　　We all know the damage that plastics cause to the environment, although we still don't know the full human impact of ingesting microplastics through water and food in the long run. As more and more single-use plastic products are banned, the demand for environmentally friendly alternatives is growing.

　　Sugarcane Plate
　　Made from a by-product of sugar cane, bagasse is an excellent choice for disposable tableware because it is biodegradable and compostable. No chemicals are involved in the production process; bagasse is simply harvested, washed with water, and molded in a heat press. These eco-friendly tableware are durable and can hold hot and cold food without bending or buckling. These disposable plates are perfect for serving sticky and greasy foods, while the bowls perform well when used to serve liquids such as soups or stews.
