Compostable, Sustainable, and Biodegradable Cookouts, Oh My!



Now that the summer season is in full swing, you will undoubtedly having some great outdoor gatherings and cookouts.  Whether you are hosting a gathering, or attending a pool party, consider alternative dinnerware options that offer quick and easy clean up comparable to the traditional plastic utensils, Solo cups, and paper plates.  




At ‘g’, we are dedicated to helping people find products with the function that we are used to, while being environmentally responsible. We carry a variety of disposable products to help meet all of your entertaining needs. We offer cornstarch disposable utensils that are suitable for foods up to 200° F, and unlike their petroleum-based counterparts, these utensils are made from annually renewable resources.  These utensils are also compostable and can be washed for additional uses if so desired! There is also a line of plant based, 100% compostable straws, cold cups and disposable wheat straw plates.   Looking for another incentive? Our supplier donates 25% of their net profits to grass roots social and environmental organizations, making your dollars go even further towards a sustainable world.


If you are looking for an alternative to Styrofoam, you may like Bambu’s all occasion veneerware bamboo plates. Made from 100% organically grown bamboo, these beautiful plates are sturdier, and are designed to hold a full plate of food. Use and dispose without worries, these plates will biodegrade in just 4-6 months!



When you are ready to clean up your party, consider using BioBag certified compostable trash bags. Manufactured in the U.S., BioBags are made with GMO free crops (genetically modified organisms) and contain no polyethylene, a plastic that mostly ends up in landfills and takes several centuries to degrade.

You can still have fun, while being environmentally conscientious, and who knows, some of these products may be fun conversation starters or even make great party favors. 

Come visit our store for all or your environmentally responsible entertaining needs, or visit us on line at www.ggreendesign.com.  Any questions?  Email us at info@ggreendesign.com or give us a call at 508-477-7988.


Have a great party!

Love this! I compost so I'm all about using compostable materials for any occasion. Here in Portland, Ore. a lot of folks just ask guests to bring their own plates/cups/silverware to keep things sustainable. Thanks so much for sharing this!

Hope to see you on the Diva soon.
