What are organic plates?
Organic plates are a sustainable alternative to traditional disposable plates. They are made of natural materials that are biodegradable and have no harmful effects on the environment. These plates are made from a variety of raw materials, including palm leaves, sugar cane, cardboard and other compostable materials. With organic plates, we significantly reduce plastic waste and help reduce environmental impact.
The most common and popular organic plates at Franz Mensch are the sugar cane or palm leaf varieties - for good reason:
Organic disposable plates made from palm leaves: These are the advantages
Disposable plates made from palm leaves are a very good choice for environmentally conscious catering. They are made from the dried leaves of the betel nut palm, which is found in many tropical regions. The leaves fall off naturally and only need to be collected. These organic plates are biodegradable, robust, heat resistant up to 220 °C and can be used for both cold and hot dishes. Each disposable plate is unique: the natural grain gives the plates a rustic, unique look that will delight your guests.
Organic plates from sugar cane: an environmentally friendly choice
Sugar cane plates are another eco-friendly option for disposable tableware. They are made from bagasse, a byproduct of sugar cane processing. These plates are biodegradable and offer a great alternative to standard plastic plates. Sugar cane plates are sturdy, heat resistant and impervious to moisture, oil and grease. So they can also be used as soup plates for liquid or very juicy foods. At Franz Mensch you can find organic sugar cane plates in two colors: Natural brown or bleached bright white.
Sustainable to-go business: Why organic plates matter
Organic plates play an important role in the catering industry to make takeaway and to-go areas more sustainable. After all, this is where a lot of waste was generated in the past, especially plastic waste. By using environmentally friendly disposable tableware, restaurants and catering companies reduce their ecological footprint and make a significant contribution to waste reduction. The organic plates are biodegradable. In addition, they are made purely from natural, renewable raw materials and conserve fossil resources.
Organic plates are an easy way to reduce our environmental footprint while enjoying the convenience and hygiene of disposable tableware. Choosing to use organic plates is an important statement of environmental awareness and sustainability. Show your guests that you are environmentally conscious and responsible with organic plates.
The EN 13432 for compostability
EN 13432 is a European standard that regulates the requirements for compostable and biodegradable packaging waste. It specifies the criteria that packaging must meet in order to be considered biodegradable and suitable for preparation for recycling. This includes, for example, the time period within which the packaging must be fully degraded in a composting facility. It ensures that the packaging does not leave any harmful residues and that it can be degraded in an industrial composting plant under controlled conditions.
Organic plates and other disposable organic products that comply with EN 13432 enable sustainable disposal and help promote the use of biodegradable materials in packaging and support the circular economy.
How to properly dispose of organic plates?
After use, organic plates should be cleaned of food residues. They can then be placed in a compostable garbage bag or directly into the compost bin. The exact instructions for disposal may vary depending on local regulations, so it is advisable to check local guidelines.
