Biodegradable plates are made from various natural fibers such as post-processed wheat straw, reed, bamboo and
bagasse (the waste fiber from pressing sugarcane) to name a few. All of these materials are renewable resources. Most of these biodegradable plates contain no plastic or wax linings. These plates are suitable for hot, wet and oily foods and can withstand temperatures up to 200 degrees Fahrenheit. Because these products are biodegradable they will naturally deteriorate into organic materials within 1 to 3 months in a commercial composting facility. Biodegradable plates are pressed in a high-heat high-pressure process resulting in an economic and durable piece of tableware which is more rigid in service than standard paper plates. For all your disposable dishware needs, go biodegradable.
