About this deal

There are also concerns the products may allow the accelerated degradation of plastic that can contaminate the food or drink and may be a risk to health. The Food Standards Agency (FSA) said it had advised retailers to withdraw products in June and any further sales would be unlawful. The sophisticated design and contemporary style of pieces in the range make it perfect for events like weddings, elegant events and even family get-togethers where people need easy, eco-friendly ways to dine in style. The plates and cutlery are sold for single use as there are no coatings or additives used in the manufacturing process. Bamboo plates are a great choice for your next camping trip. They're made from natural materials, so you know they won't leach harmful chemicals into the food. The best thing about these plates is that they can be reused again and again! Last November the European Commission warned that tableware containing bamboo and other unauthorised additives had not been safely assessed under the regulations and their sale was illegal. Bad because it’s made from petrochemicals and because, at the end of its life, it’s just un-get-riddable-of litter (it messes up the sea, the beaches, the woodlands and almost every UK roadside…perhaps not the plates, but you see what we mean.) France is banning plastic plates and cups. Hooray! Melamine is a nasty blend of chemicals.

Our high quality bamboo tableware is made by peeling the bamboo directly from the bamboo culm, or stem. Three sheets of bamboo are then made into a single layer using heat, pressure and a little food-grade, water-based adhesive. No chemicals or dyes are used in the process. Grows very fast so it’s very renewable. Again, though, it does have to be shipped in. Disposable bamboo plates can be composted, though they take a few months to break down. If you’ve got a choice, go for minimally processed, organic plates.Plates are made from the fibre left over after the sugar sap is pressed out. They’re naturally brown, so white ones will have been bleached. The material is also called bagasse, by the way.

Bamboo tableware is something that caters for all needs. It is likely that you are looking for tableware to suit all manner of occasions like parties, picnics and al fresco dining which means you are looking for bamboo tableware! It’s no surprise that our compostable bamboo plates are a favorite for wedding event planning. For the co-conscious host that needs simplicity and affordability while remaining sustainable, Veneerware is the answer. Bamboo is a natural material that is porous and can be stained by anything from wine to coffee to tomato sauce. If you want your new bamboo dishware set for the kitchen or dining room table to last as long as possible, it's best not to use it with sauces or other liquids that might damage the surface of the wood like alcohol or vinegar (although many people swear by using vinegar on their bamboo cutting boards). Some suppliers have already conducted their own tests, which they say show their products do not pose any health risk. The FSA is now consulting on the products and is requesting manufacturers, suppliers and retailers to submit any relevant data. From the areca palm and makes sturdy plates with very little processing. Some companies gather fallen palm fronds, sanitise them and press them into plates, no glue or glazes. Palm leaf plates are compostable. They do have to be imported, though (but doesn’t much of our plastic come from overseas?)

Despite the ban, the bamboo and plastic products are still widely available online, including children’s cups and plates. They are typically made of bamboo, with a melamine formaldehyde resin, and look like plastic. Might seem like a better choice than petrochemical-derived plastic, but it doesn’t compost or break down. It has to be sent to a commercial composting facility – and there aren’t many of those around. Better than the petrochemical version, though.
