1. No negative effects
Whether it's our health or the deteriorating state of the planet, both aspects of our lives are interconnected. The most important fact about using biodegradable tableware is that they have a positive impact on the environment. Switching to eco-friendly spoons, forks, plates, and glasses just means less plastic on our planet.
2. Compostable substrates
The biodegradable board is composed of a polyester polymer obtained by polymerizing lactic acid as the main raw material, which is a new type of biodegradable material. This makes these PLA PLA products 100% biodegradable and compostable. After use, it can be completely degraded by microorganisms in nature, and finally generate carbon dioxide and water, without polluting the environment, which is very beneficial to protecting the environment and is recognized as an environmentally friendly material. The treatment method for ordinary plastics is still incineration and cremation, which causes a large number of greenhouse gases to be discharged into the air, while polylactic acid plastics are buried in the soil to degrade, and the carbon dioxide produced directly enters the soil's organic matter or is absorbed by plants, and will not be discharged into the air. Does not cause the greenhouse effect.
3. Non-toxic:
Plastics are made from chemicals like phthalate biphenyl A and dioxins. And compostable tableware, like PLA or Ecoware's other products, is made from eco-friendly and 100% biodegradable materials.
4. Reduce marine pollution
According to a report published in National Geographic, the ocean is polluted with 18 billion pounds of various single-use plastics because they cannot be broken down. As of 2015, approximately 6,300 metric tons of plastic waste had been generated, of which approximately 9% had been recycled, 12% had been incinerated, and 79% had accumulated in landfills or the natural environment. Therefore, eco-friendly tableware helps reduce water pollution through natural decomposition.

5. Stronger than paper
If you think compostable cutlery isn't durable, most biodegradable plates and forks are much better than paper plates for serving food from a usability standpoint. Why? Because paper trays often become damp and collapse when exposed to the heat, weight, and steam of food. PLA polylactic acid products can withstand the heat, weight, and steam of food for a long time.
PLA PLA products are stronger than sugar cane pulp, paper, or plastic cutlery.
