As many of you know we are an eco-conscious business. This year we've been pleased that 1) more and more clients want to use biodegradable or other types of eco disposables and 2) greater variety than ever of designs for green disposables is now available.
Today we'd like to offer a list of sources for eco-friendly disposables that you can look into for your gatherings. Or you can always use real china, glass, and cutlery too, because that's an eco choice also.
Disposables of course are not appropriate for formal events, but they are appropriate, fun, and even, now. eco-chic decorative for many types of gathering.
Here are some great online sources:
www.greenfeet.com
www.restaurantware.com
www.biodegradableshop.com
www.cuptainers.com
www.yourgreen2go.com
www.missionrs.com (their BioPlanet line)
www.caterstore.com
www.sustyparty.com (and we love their new Party Pop Up Bins to hold recycling and garbage at even large parties with style)
www.webrestaurantstore.com
Our favorites among these online sources would have to be Restaurantware, Greenfeet, and Susty Party. Restaurantware in particular has very cool designs, including safari print, little boats, small cones and cups, and all manner and shape of plates, which add such a great touch to your party! If you're looking to add a special touch to your party, do check out Restaurantware for many great serving ideas!
Can I just pick something up?
If you're near a Whole Foods store you can also just go in there and pick up biodegradable disposables from the line Terraware, which is made from corn. Or Google your city and see if a source that sells eco disposables in your area comes up--you might be surprised to find that one does.
Generally the online sources sell both smaller packages and by the case, so you can find a size package to fit your party need.
The thing to remember with eco disposables, though, is that they're usually in neutral shades like ivory, white, tan, light brown...So if you use them the thing to do is add color in other ways to your party with a colored tablcloth or napkins or placemats or glasses or a centerpiece or colorful food (or some combination of these). Otherwise it looks too much like a "mushroom house" as my friend calls too much beigeness.
Enjoy!
