Bamboo Plates

Post by foxd »

Several local people drew my attention to an article in the local paper about biodegradable plates made with bamboo fiber and sugar cane pulp. The plates could replace Styrofoam. Keep an eye out for the article on-line or in your local paper.

Key points from the article:

Made of bamboo and sugar cane fiber with no chemicals added.

Usable in microwave and freezer.

Heat-resistant to 140 degrees.

Not yet available in stores.

The legal issues that will arise when the undead walk the earth are legion, and addressing them all is well beyond what could reasonably be accomplished in this brief Essay. Indeed, a complete treatment of the tax issues alone would require several volumes.

Dan, I believe that our store's deli's have been using some of the sugar cane carry out stuff for quite some time, I'm not sure if it is the version with bamboo but we have used it instead of styrofoam for a while now.

biodegradable is cool, maybe make them edible too so can biodegrade in my stomach.

And so a five and a half year old thread stirs to life....

Bamboo plates can be bought now for a bit less than a dollar a plate.
