10 inch 3 COMP Nature Compostable Dinner Paper Plates for Party, 125 Count

Love the size and sturdiness of these plates. Great for those who want their food compartmentalized—no touching here. Great that these can be composted.

These are great for hosting during any season. Nice size for appetizers and desserts. Sturdy.

For the last couple of years I've spent most of my time living/traveling in a tiny house. My water is stored in a tank that has to be refilled routinely, which is a minor hassle and one of the few downsides. Doing dishes eats up a lot of my water capacity and makes those refills happen more often, there's limited counter space for dishes to dry on. It can be difficult to securely store dishes in a way they won't be bumped off of the shelves when driving, too. (And alright, I'm a little lazy too.)I try and use mostly disposable dishes for this reason, but have felt increasingly guilty about how much styrofoam and plastic trash I was producing. With these, I'm still producing waste -- but my guilt is at least alleviated a bit knowing these will degrade much quicker than styrofoam.The plates themselves are very sturdy, similar to the extra thick paper ones. The price isn't much different from those either. I have used in the microwave for a couple minutes at a time with no problems.

We used these plates for a recent brunch for 50 plus people. We had fruit and breakfast tacos, so both sloppy things and hot and cold. The plates held up wonderfully and looked nice, too. They are fairly thick, sort of like Chinet, and equally durable. But the nice thing is that they are not a paper product, so they do not require the use of tree products or the logging of trees, and they are compostable, even when thrown in with regular trash. The composting then takes longer, but they still break down. So their manufacture AND their disposal are more environmentally friendly than the more typical paper products. Because we had so many people, and many were kids, and the event was out of doors, we could not use regular dinner ware, and just wash the items afterwards, which would have been even more toward zero-waste. But using these and compostable cups and flatware at least helped. We also composted all food scraps that were not animal based.This way, we could feel better about the impact of our event.

I was very impressed with the strength of the plates! I piled high the food and the plate didn't sink at all! Solid Solid Solid plates!!! It was way stronger than the standard paper and one use plastic coded plates at the grocery store. I felt good buying a product that is helping the environment. But to be honest, the pricing is not competitive for large cities that have grocery stores on every corner. Most 100 plate products cost less than $5.00. If they lower their price to $8.00 or $9.00 it would be very competitive with the strength of the plate. I found wheat plates of 100 for around $5.00 but they were just a little smaller at 7”. I just don’t understand paying anything over $10.00 for one time use plates. I did try to use a wet scrubbing brush on the plate to see if they could be reused and noticed a thick pulp like material from the scrubbing on top of the plate. This just shows it will break down nicely in the environment.

I have all sizes including bowls or cereal and nothing goes through. It takes it a lot for any type of oils to see-through.

We purchased packages of these disposable plates to use at our company picnic. They performed flawlessly!The plates separated from each other easily, which kept the line flowing smoothly and is always a concern at events! They were sturdy enough to withstand being loaded down with steaming hotdogs, condiments, juicy watermelon, cake and chips while the divided design helped keep juice from running though the other items. Even without a waxy coating, nothing soaked through the plate and people who chose to stand up didn't have to worry about their plate collapsing after moisture & heat were on it. No floppy plate "party fouls"!I like the natural color instead of a bleached white and feel these were an excellent value. The package size of 125 gave a sense of insurance against people using extra plates to then not run out. I'm glad there were a few leftover!

Product is exceptional and the perfect size, however, the shipping time is ridiculous even if coming to Hawaii. It’s delayed again( I’m on auto delivery) and probably lost again.
