Summer officially starts tomorrow and with it comes a season of long awaited for BBQs.
I found some great alternatives to bringing your own plates and utensils to the BBQ-place (in case you chose to gather away from home): Products made out of Sugarcane, Corn, Potato and Bamboo - and in case you forget them on the site you do not need to feel bad about it.
Sugarcane:
Plates, bowles and cups made of sugarcane pulp are sturdier than most paper ones. Go to: www.clearcreekcomp.com and www.branchhome.com
Corn:
Made from cornstarch and enzymes, corn-based knives, forks and spoons usually break down within two months in the compost. www.biodegradablestore.com
Potato:
Molded out of potato starch, sleek smooth-handled utensils biodegrade within 180 days. www.worldcentric.org
Bamboo:
Salad servers and trays are handmade from organic bamboo, the fastest growing plant. www.bambuhome.com
