Sort out dinner and take care of the environment at the same time! This set comes with 4 bowls, plates, cups and cutlery, as well as a durable carry bag for safe storage. High quality, durable and BPA free, you can feel good about buying these plastic products. Made from the by-products of wheat harvests they are zero waste and entirely biodegradable. Wheat straw is what’s leftover once the wheat is harvested, the straw is turned into a pulp which is then pressed into a form like a plate that’s strong and non-allergenic and doesn’t even contain gluten! Perfect for hot and cold foods, the set can withstand temperatures of up to 93 degrees Celsius. You won’t have to feel bad if you lose one out bush either because they’re fully compostable and take only 3 to 6 months to fully breakdown.
