5.0 out of 5 stars A bit pricey but it's worth it to go green, June 3, 2007

This review is from: EarthShell 9" Biodegradable Premium Strength Plates - 12 packages of 20 count plates
I buy these plates at my local high-end supermarket because the big chain supermarkets don't carry any recycled or eco-friendly paper products of any kind. These plates, while quite expensive, are a terrific alternative to paper plates. We don't use disposable plates very often anyway, so the added expense isn't something we're paying all the time. Probably once or twice a year we buy disposables.

These are made from potatoes, limestone, and corn. Once you've thrown them out and they make their way to your local landfill, you can rest easy that they're going to degrade naturally over the years without releasing harmful chemicals. Feels good to be part of the solution and not part of the problem.

As disposable plates go, they're great. They can go into the microwave and they don't get hot. They're way stronger than regular paper plates - more like the thick cardboard ones (eg Chinet).

4.0 out of 5 stars Good product, June 3, 2008

This review is from: EarthShell 9" Biodegradable Premium Strength Plates - 12 packages of 20 count plates
We are using these plates for our outdoor wedding. We wanted to limit our disposables or eliminate them entirely, and plates are the one concession to a throwaway item. It was very important that any trash we generate break down quickly and efficiently. So we have sampled these plates to make sure they fit the bill of being efficient, sturdy, and a reasonable alternative to plastic. They are!! We have added heavy, warm, wet foods to the plates and they hold up very well with no leakage.
The only problem is that the edges of the plate are weak and crack if you hold a full plate too close to the edge. The cracking does NOT cut across the plate, so your food is not in danger of falling through. Just be cautious and keep a hand under the plate when walking or standing.

This review is from: EarthShell 9" Biodegradable Premium Strength Plates - 12 packages of 20 count plates
With all the health problems and environmental damage plastic is causing, I wouldn't mind seeing more products like this.
They are good strong plates that are great for any purpose where regular plates are not practical. I will definitely be buying them again.
It is my understanding these are made from the parts of the plants that are usually disposed of, so they probably don't effect the food supply.
