The plastic grocery bag is here to stay, but Eco-Products "Corn Plastic" Grocery Bags are a better alternative to virgin plastics.  The new "corn plastic" shopping bags are just as strong as traditional plastic, but once it's thrown away, it will naturally compost.  Made from a renewable source, US grown corn, the bioshopper shopping bags are the natural choice over petroleum-based plastic bags.

 

 

Go Green - Zero Waste:  Many events tend to overuse natural resources, produce more emissions, and add more to landfills than would normally occur.  Large gatherings mean that many, if not most of the attendees have likely traveled out of their way to be there.  An event may also prompt additional deliveries and require extra transportation for supplies and equipment (e.g., extra trip to the market, delivery of flowers, etc.).

 

To supply enough tableware and to save efforts in post-event clean-up, we often rely upon disposable items, usually made from paper and plastic.  Other packaging containers like glass & plastic bottles, plastic bags, cardboard, and aluminum & steel cans all add to increased waste, especially if recycling receptacles are not provided.
