There's a heatwave, and if you don't have air conditioning in your house, it might be better to get outside and sit in the shade where there is even the slightest possibility of a breeze. If you're planning to have a picnic, or eat by the pool, use these biodegradable plates and utensils. The plates, cups and bowls are made from renewable resources - a material called bagasse, which is a compostable sugar cane fiber, a byproduct of the sugar refining process. The flatware is made from potato starch and vegetable oil. All pieces are unbleached, FDA-approved food-safe, and can be usedin the microwave, the freezer, are oil-resistant, and can handle hot food.
The dinnerware is available at Branch in packs of various quantitites ranging from $4 for bowl to $14 for complete flatware sets.
