I admit we used paper plates at our last big shindig for Papa Tree’s 40th birthday party. Yes, I felt guilty about it, but I also didn’t want to wash plates for the whole night. As his 41st birthday is soon approaching, I wanted to find an alternative this year. Well, I think I found it. Bagasse plates, cups and bowls are made from a sugarcane refining process and can be recycled with other paper or put in with your other compost. They are unbleached and FDA approved for food use. Believe it or not they can also survive runs in the microwave and freezer. You can buy bagasse utensils too. Find them at www.branchhome.com. The 9" Plates (pack of 50) are $9.00- which means you are paying $.41 per plate.
Hello!
I actually work at the ad agency that covers Chinet disposable tableware. I came across your post and wanted to let you know that Chinet Classic White (plates, bowls, etc) and Chinet Casuals are 100% biodegradable in home composting AND they are made from 100% pre-consumer recycled milk carton stock.

This is a great tip! I was just in the process of looking for supplies for my kiddo’s first b’day party. Thanks!
