Compostable plates are environmentally friendly alternatives to traditional plastic or Styrofoam plates. Made from natural materials like corn starch, sugarcane, or bamboo, these plates break down into organic matter when disposed of in a composting environment. This process helps reduce waste in landfills and supports soil health. Unlike regular disposable plates, compostable plates are designed to decompose within a few months under the right conditions. They are often used for picnics, parties, and catered events, providing a sustainable option for serving food while minimizing environmental impact.
