Why Switch to Compostable Products?
Sustainability
Compostable disposables are a more sustainable alternative to traditional plastic and styrofoam. They are made from renewable resources like sugarcane, bamboo, and cornstarch and break down into natural, non-toxic elements. When they are composted, they are turned into a nutrient-rich fertilizer that can be returned to the soil.
Traditional foam and plastic packaging doesn’t decompose, and can pollute the environment indefinately. Plastic food packaging contributes to microplastic contamination in the soil, rivers, lakes, and oceans.
Affordable and Convenient
The Urban Canopy offers bulk pricing for BPI certified compostable disposables.
Unlike other disposables, compostable food packaging can go straight into the compost bin with the leftover food- no need to separate the packaging or scrape food off the plates!
