Throwing a party or going on a picnic does not have to mean that the next day you have heaps of garbage filled with disposable plates, cutlery, paper napkins and decorations to throw away.
Biodegradable eco friendly party products like bamboo plates, cups and containers made from sugarcane pulp, wooden cutlery, unbleached napkins and recyclable decorations including biodegradable balloons, are not only pleasing to the eye but also good for your health and the environment. They are all natural and organic, 100% biodegradable and environment friendly. Once the party is over, they can be added to the compost heap in your backyard and used eventually as fertilizer in your garden.
Sleek tableware made from sugarcane pulp or potato/cassava starch come in handy for picnics too. Starting from the recycled cardboard packing to the table cloth made of recycled paper, food containers, to the cutlery, and food leftovers everything can be buried and left to decompose naturally. Or all of it can be put in the compost pile back home to grow your plants. As these plates, glasses and bowls made from natural sugar pulp, a bi-product of the sugar industry, are sturdy, non-toxic, non-greasy, and easy to compost, there is no pileup of waste or landfill to worry about. They are suitable for hot soups or steaming vegetables and some are microwave friendly too.
Straws made from PLA, a nontoxic resin made from corn starch not only look pretty but are also strong and durable. They are washable and can be reused any number of times for craft activities. They break down into carbon, water, and organic matter in the garden within a year, or even sooner if in a commercial composting area.
Balloons made from natural rubber, colorful paper buntings, attractive and reusable twine for balloons, used invitation cards, gift tags, and other party stationery can be composted in your garden giving rise to pretty flowers or vegetables. Birthday candles made from natural bee wax and smelling of honey are environmentally friendly and a better alternative to paraffin wax candles that drip all over the cake. Willow hanging decorations are pretty and can be put to various uses. Place an ordinary or scented candle a glass and put it in each of these willow containers to act as tea-lights or use them for filling candies or as return gifts.
