Reusable Bamboo Plates
We get it -- disposable plates are terribly convenient. But with shipping costs at an all-time high and those costs being passed along to consumers, even a simple stack of paper plates can put a dent in your wallet. Consider an old idea combined with a new concept: the reusable picnic plate. Not only are these bamboo plates eco-friendly, they’re a perfect solution to the ever-present “disposable plates without the disposable look” dilemma. Plus, their sturdy material means they really are reusable!
