Recycled Home Accents

They say everything old becomes new again, and these eight decorative accents are perfect examples -- redefining the word "recycled" to mean more than just dropping in a blue bin.

Disposable Plates (sans guilt)

Once were: sugarcane fiber and potato starch
Now is: 100% biodegradable disposable dinnerware

Finally we can picnic in peace. These paper-plate alternatives are more sturdy and, without a doubt, more elegant. They’re also microwavable, freezer safe, oil resistant, and can handle hot foods and beverages. When the party is over, they can be recycled for the making of paper or can be composted.

Disposable Dinnerware
$9 (pack of 50 plates), $14 (pack of 150 spoons, knives, and forks)
Available at Branch
