Disposable Paper Plates Set 300PCS Compostable Sugarcane Plates, Bowls, Heavy-duty Utensil, Biodegradable Napkins, Eco-friendly Dinnerware Set for Party Camping 50 People

Things I like:The entire set is biodegradeable/compostable. Ireally appreciate this effort towards helping our planet.The bowls and plates are, indeed, nice and thick and sturdy and effectively maintain their integrity even when dealing with wet foods.The napkins also are of a good quality and don't disintegrate immediately upon use.The individual components of the set (plates, forks, knives etc) are all wrapped separately and the plastic bags in which they come can be resealed as shown in one of my pictures.Things I don't like:The forks are a little soft and the prongs bend quite easily (see picture). I haven't actually used the cutlery yet so I can't say if the knives are also too soft to make them effective in cutting steak for example.It's unclear to me if the plastic in which the different components are wrapped is also biodegradeable. It would be nice if it was though, since the rest of the set is so 'Green'.Overall, though, this is a great picnic/party set of dishes and cutlery.

The utensils with this set are super solid. The plates are strong and hold up well in a microwave. One "weak" area of the plates & bowls would be the ridge. They can almost fold off. Napkins are pretty thick however.I like this set and the bowls are a decent size. 50 plates would be great.

They get soggy quickly, but are a great alternative to plastic!

This is a nice selection of heavyweight paper plates, bowls, and utensils. The stack of napkins are a good weight as well but I do wish there were more of them. These would be great for a party.

Nothing much to say here. It’s 300 pieces total, 50 of each. Napkin, bowl, plate, spoon, fork, knife. Good for camping, pack lunches, parties, or if you just prefer disposable wear to dishes. I like to keep a little bit of disposable stuff on hand for short notice, but I try not to use much so this will last me while. Plus pizza is always best enjoyed on a paper plate, it’s tradition. In terms of eco footprint this type of disposable platewear is the better option. However, this isn’t the sort of plate or bowl you wanna use to send your guests home with leftovers, it would get soggy, their are better options for that sort of thing.

This set of disposable dinnerware is quite sturdy. Included with the set is plates, bowls, napkins, forks, knives, and spoons with 50 pieces of each. With that many pieces, you can feed a crowd, or have enough for several cookouts or picnics. All of the pieces are a neutral beige and can be used regardless of season or holiday.We used ours for burrito bowls which can be a bit juicy and they held up very well. They didn’t get soggy or saggy and nothing soaked through them. The utensils are fairly heavy duty and didn’t break. The spoons have a ridge to give it strength, but the tines of the forks are a little flexible.

I got this for a friend in college because his roommates always leaves the sink full. But now he can eat without wasting time washing dishes someone else made. Which a full plate of food the plate didn't give. For the money it's worth the peace of mind and environment.

This disposable paper plates set with utensils worked out amazing for our party.We chose to buy this set because it was biodegradable and compostable. We shopped around a little and decided to get this set rather than other ones because it was complete and had every utensil we might need. We definitely made the right choice!The quality was nice with the forks and utensils. The plates I wish for a tiny bit more rigid, but they work great. The bowls for the salads worked wonderfully and stayed intact for the whole event.The fact that it was biodegradable made us feel good about the slightly higher price tag. We didn't want to get plastic and add more trash to the planet.I think they were great and we're making a good quality. I highly recommend these for anyone. Who's looking for quality product with a little less guilt.

I don’t like the idea of creating more waste destined for landfills, but there are instances when I have little option to use anything except disposable dishes and cutlery, for example if I’m moving and all my dishes are already packed away. Or if I am hosting a picnic or barbecue and it’s going to be a hardship to transport the clean (and later, dirty) dish-ware. That’s why this product really interested me.In the box there are plates (50 pcs., 9” diameter) and bowls (50 pcs.), serviettes, knives, forks and spoons (50 pcs. each). All that’s missing are cups/mugs. These items are supposed to be fully compossible and biodegradable while being fluid resistant while they are being used. They’re vanilla plain, but they don’t have to be fancy. In my mind, the fewer dyes and inks that go into them the less they will cost and the less environmental damage they will do. The cost per setting is about $1.50 CAD which is significantly more than dollar-store stuff, but if it’s recyclable and compostable then I don’t mind spending more.The plates and bowls feel like a rough cardboard material and do a reasonable job of not becoming mushy while they’re being used. The serviettes feel like regular serviettes and the only thing unusual about them is their cream colour which I don’t mind. The cutlery feels and looks like plastic but are apparently make from a cornstarch material. They feel especially resistant to becoming soggy while they’re being used but are obviously not as rigid or strong as a piece of stainless steel cutlery.But is this stuff really recyclable? That depends on where you are. Here, in the city of Toronto (Canada) the paper plates and bowls can go in the green (organic) bin. However, according to the City’s own website, what CANNOT be put in the blue-bin is “items that are labelled or marketed as compostable or biodegradable, including bags, containers, cutlery”. That’s it then, plates, serviettes and bowls YES and knives, forks and spoons NO.It’s not that they can’t be recycled, it’s that our city is not yet set up to recycle these products (in late 2023). It may be different elsewhere but I would expect these restrictions to apply to the rest of the province of Ontario. That is not the fault of the manufacturer but it does affect whether I would buy this again. I would like it if they could be sold without the cutlery. I checked on Amazon.ca and I can buy just the cups (and just the plates) so that’s something I would consider doing in the future.

Let’s get the elephant in the room out of the way. These cost a lot. It’s hard to justify that much money on something that will end up garbage after a day out. From the information I’ve been able to find which is not easy to locate, the manufacturing process and of course, sugarcane costs more. Sadly, like eating healthy, it costs more.I have been using sugar cane plates for a while now because they are eco-friendly and very sturdy. These plates were no different. While a bit smaller than what I usually buy, the 9” plate is still a great size for any meal. The plates held up to forks and knives while cutting food. Nothing went through the plate and I was very happy. The bowls held up to melting ice cream without getting soggy itself.The cutlery felt different than what I was used to. I had never heard of them made from cornstarch before. The spoon and knife held up great, while the fork bent when trying to use it on fried food.I was also surprised things were packaged in plastic bags. You are buying something eco-friendly but it is covered in plastic seems like a lapse in judgment considering the product. I would also highly suggest if you’re looking to recycle that you contact your local recycling plant and inquire if they can handle these.I’m knocking a star off for the use of plastic inside what is supposed to be able to promote eco-friendly. Many solutions could be found to package the products.

I got these products thinking finally I can use disposable partyware without harming the environment.Well, turns out there is a BIG catch!!First off, the paper plates and napkins are like most others; there is no plastic coating so they are compostable - they can be thrown into the green bin. They are a bit thinner and less sturdy than your regular Royal Chinet paper plates. But for the BBQ party, they are strong enough.The cutlery is a different story. The manufacturer advertised that they are made of corn based plastic, although there isn't any embossed label to indicate they are compostable. The cutlery feel like plastic ones and have the strength of the usual plastic cutlery.It was when I tried to find out where to dispose of them that I realised in almost all municipalities including ALL of Greater Toronto Area, these utensils are NEITHER compostable NOR recyclable! They go to the garbage pail and then to the landfill. The reason is "compostable plastic" are not compostable in our composting facilities (at lease in Ontario). They require special treatments. The "compostable plastic" cannot be recycled. In fact, I found out that if they are mixed with other recyclable plastic, the entire lot of otherwise recyclable plastic will become non-recyclable and wasted (consigned to landfill!)The direction from every municipality in the GTA is to throw "compostable plastic" in garbage! They may decompose there faster than regular plastic, but they emit methane and still take up landfill space.I now have to keep these cutlery in storage until there is facility to actually decompose them.I learned a lesson and certainly will NOT buy them again.I will stick to using regular cutlery and wash them afterwards, or will consider trying out wooden ones that are truly compostable.Update:I received this message from the company after publishing my review; I upgraded the rating upon reading their feedback. I am attaching their response to help other readers with similar concerns make their choice."I would like to thank you for your inquiry regarding the industrial composting of cornstarch-based utensils in various provinces across Canada. Your interest in sustainable waste management practices is commendable.Typically, cornstarch-based utensils can be composted in industrial composting facilities. However, the specifics of whether they can be sent to such facilities and the exact handling methods may vary by province and municipality. Some provinces may allow these utensils to be composted alongside organic waste, while others may have different guidelines.For precise and current information on the policies and practices related to industrial composting of cornstarch-based utensils in each Canadian province, I recommend reaching out to the respective provincial or municipal government websites or contacting local waste management authorities. They will be able to provide you with the most accurate and up-to-date guidance on this matter.I hope this information is helpful, and I encourage you to reach out to the appropriate authorities for more specific information related to your needs.Should you have any further questions or require additional assistance, please feel free to ask.FEHHTO Customer Service"

I tested a ‘plastic’ fork and desert bowl with some jarred peaches — fruit salad is a typical wet desert I’d have at a summer event and this is a more extreme version of that.The fork was great. I’ve been traumatized by paper straws and wooden forks, and wont even use them if those environmentally unfriendly options are provided. Straight to the landfill. These forks however were sturdy and smooth, so they didn’t have an unpleasant mouth feel when using them, and they didn’t impart an old school ice cream cup flavour. Perfect disposable cutlery that is biodegradable too (note: if you have elementary students and buy these, maybe have them do a science experiment on effective ways to break these down; i suspect boiling water is sufficient to do it in an hour).The bowl was sturdy. The inside seemed to be lined with a thin layer of wax or maybe the same cornstarch ‘plastic’ the spoon is made of. That gave it a smooth texture and it really holds liquids well. I’ve left the syrup from my peaches in the bowl for close to a half hour now and there’s no sign that it’s making its way into the plastic. I’ve had coffee cups with cold water in them fall apart faster.These are going in the ‘camp bin’. They’re as functional as the washable plastic dishes and will definitely get used when there’s a large group.⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
