Sustainable Tableware Options

Tableware is essential when serving guests food and beverages.  This component of events can also lead to extensive and needless waste!  Explore our options below and schedule a consultation to ensure your event is Near Zero Waste!

REUSABLE

Provide reusable dishware items for serving your guests. 

Using reusables reduces GHG (Green House Gas) emissions by eliminating items needed to be landfilled, or even recycled.

We have a stock of sterilized reusable items for your next event.  We can also connect you with various vendors to find the exact reusable ware you seek.
 

SUSTAINABLE SINGLE USE

Many disposable, single-use items are not biodegradable in current sanitary landfills.  Some may break down, but still into microplastics or particles that pollute water and food sources.  


We have a stock of sustainable single-use products, PFAS-Free (Click Here for more info). 
Using these items ensures your single-use products will complete a full-circle journey, and become compost for a local organic farm.

Reusable or Suustainable Single-Use?
