100% Compostable Disposable Paper Plates Bulk [6" 125 Pack], Bamboo Plates, Eco Friendly, Biodegradable, Sturdy Small Dessert Party Plates, Heavy-Duty, Unbleached by Earth's Natural Alternative

I stopped using paperware years ago because I don't like one-use items. We hosted a family reunion weekend recently, though, and I decided to try paper goods for it to reduce extra activity in our small-ish kitchen. I was so happy to find these plates. They worked perfectly for buffet-style meals, held up to lasagna and tossed salad (I used just a single plate - no doubling up - and it worked well without any edge sagging, softening or soak-through. We loaded our plates at the buffet but did sit at tables, so there was no lap-eating (I think I'd double a plate for that, though maybe it wouldn't be necessary). The event happened during a dry spell, so I soaked the used plates in a dishtub of water overnight and tore them up a bit before putting them in my compost heap, just to get them started breaking down. Those were probably unnecessary steps, but reduced the plates' appeal to critters and gave me a good chance to assess their sturdiness. They were amazing - held their shape even after an overnight soak. The soaked plates were even a bit hard to tear up in stacks of more than two. This is good news - paperware that isn't an ecological burden. I will use these again should I ever end up entertaining on that scale. By the way, the 9" size is excellent for this kind of dining because the size is so manageable and the price is good ;-) If they don't compost well I'll alter the review, but so far, really good.

A bit smaller than some plates, but good for our environment. Sturdy and no issues with these plates.

I've been using these plates for a few years. They are solid, don't cut easily, and OK with fluids. They are quickly compostable and better for the environment than paper or plastic.

Very sturdy!

I have a full set of 50 plates and cutlery for larger family parties, but the process of washing said plates takes hours; I just wanted something easier this year where I could throw all the contents of the plate and the plates themselves on my compost pile.The plates themselves seem pretty sturdy; I like the divided compartments a great deal - particularly great for picky kids that do not want their meal components to touch.The big issue I had with this for my party was the tendency of the plates to stick together. I just had these in one pile and as I looked around, I saw that many folks had accidentally grabbed two plates. If you were setting these out at individual place settings, you could avoid this problem, but our family gigs are a bit more casual than that. Since most people had two plates, I can't say if many had problems with seepage. I personally did not, but I also did not plate anything with gravy or sauce.I have turned these a few times in my compost; it's been about a month since they were placed there. They have flattened and are beginning to tear a bit. I think they will break down faster than the cups I procured for the same occasion (HeloGreen Coffee Hot Cups | 12 oz. Compostable Cups Premium Paper Hot Cups - Hot Beverage Cup for Coffee, Tea, Water and More! - WHITE - (100 Count)).

Got these to use for my cat’s wet food. They work well and hold up to some of the brothier meals well. I’ll be buying them again when I run out. I like that they’re a more sustainable option. The price isn’t half bad either

My compost is very happy with this product.

Love the divided paper plates. Hard to find them in the stores. Just what I wanted.

Excelente producto. Es el plato pastelero.En mi intento de no afectar el medio ambiente tengo años no usando desechables, pero a veces si se requieren para no lavar, estos son de excelente calidad, resisten humedad y están en un excelente precio. Todo lo ecológico habitualmente es mucho más caro .

Além de ser uma graça para quem gosta de um visual mais orgânico, é uma proposta excelente para evitar lixo.

Excelente tamaño, te cabe una comida completa, puedes cortar tus alimentos sobre ellos y también los puedes meter al microondas.

These plates are incredible.. !! We’ve used them for saucy pastas to steak buffets and have never let us down with leaks or cutting through with steak knives!!And best of all they are environmentally friendly!! Highly, highly recommend this brand from this company!!Hope they never discontinue.. Tyou!!

I have to say I was genuinely surprised at the quality of this plate, well made and sturdy. I love the sectioned areas for food which is a convenient aspect of this plate which not only ensures proper meal portions but also keeps gravy in the applicable area. This will now be my go to plate in future. Highly recommend this plate.
