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.
