6 Types of Eco friendly tableware that can be used for cafes & restaurants.
No matter what kind of food business you are, it is always possible to turn your business into an eco-friendly restaurant or café by using sugar cane pulp products. Let’s find out more about this article.
Whether you own a restaurant, a café or a food delivery truck, there are many ways your business has a direct impact on the environment. Unfortunately, restaurants, bars and cafes are contributing in countless ways to our growing climate crisis.
According to a survey by WRAP, a waste analysis firm, the overall volume of waste, including packaging, fruit, plastics and other non-food waste, generated annually by the food services and hospitality industry is 2.87 million tones. Out of the overall waste generation, just 45 per cent of the waste is recycled or composted.
If more restaurant and café owners do their hardest to minimize waste and plastic emissions, you too will make an eco-friendly attempt to save the world. How is that? Replacement of non-biodegradable or single-use plastic goods for biodegradable tableware.
1. Wooden Cutlery
We are well aware of the adverse consequences of single-use plastic cutlery. They pose a threat not only to the environment, marine species and wildlife, but also to human beings. Made from such ingredients, when you eat food from a plastic bottle, they release certain dangerous chemicals that are combined with food and can cause different cancers.
For this cause, wooden cutlery made from plantation birch is a healthy substitute. And it’s also compostable. There is a wide variety of items, including forks, knives, spoons, tea-cups and stirring sticks.
2. Sugarcane Pulp Tableware
Plates and bowls made from sugar cane pulp are fully natural and biodegradable. They are compostable and can be conveniently composted in industrial or home-made composting plants. These type of tableware come in a range of shapes and sizes that make them a common choice. From small to large eco-friendly sugar cane pulp plates, you can select from here. — www.floronabioware.com
3. Wooden Pine Boats & Cones
Popularly used in parties at cafes and restaurants, gourmet pine boats are amazing replacements for side dishes and appetizers. They are mainly used to hold chips and crispy French fries. These cute cones are made from natural elements and come in an elegant and clean look. They are water and heat resistant and completely compostable.
4. Biodegradable Coffee Cups
We all love to kick-start our day with a good cup of coffee from our local coffee shop. How would we love it if we came to hear of the adverse effects of using plastic cups on both our health and the environment? Then why not do Mother Earth a favor by replacing plastic cups with reusable, biodegradable coffee cups?
5. Paper Bags
You should only use cloth bags instead of polybags for take-away. These polybags are the true cause of the loss of marine life and wildlife. There are different kinds of bags available on the market. You can even have your brand name and logo on it to advertise without being rough on the world.
6. Biodegradable Straws
Replace disposable straw for biodegradable ones. Plastic straws typically end up in landfills or seas causing damage to the atmosphere or to aquatic life. These days, eco-friendly straws are available on the markets made from paper pulp, corn starch, sugar cane pulp and various other natural elements.
Hotels, restaurants and cafes using compost tableware not only do their bit to support eco sustainable Green Cause, but they also chat volumes about their values.
