Recyclable Plates Made From Compost?

Remember going camping – and tossing your paper plate into the campfire?campfire

There’s a new recyclable plate out – and it’s compostable!

Verterra.com is where you find them.  Now be ready for sticker shock, they’re about 89 cents a piece!  You’ve got to really be into composting in order to purchase them on a regular basis.

The new compostable plates are made 100% from renewable and compostable plant materials and water. No waxes, no dyes, no chemicals.  They’re created from fallen leaves. They use steam, heat and pressure to form these new plates and bowls.

Such a simple process!  And they’ll decompose in a compost pile in about two months.
