Member's Mark Disposable Bowls

Which disposable bowls are eco-friendly?

Opt for paper or cardboard that's not coated with anything. You can often compost these with any leftover food, which is an eco-friendly option.

What types of materials are disposable bowls made from?

Paper, foam and plastic are the most common materials for disposable bowls.

What are the pros and cons of disposable dinnerware?

Disposable dinnerware is convenient for outdoor events or large events where it would be difficult to provide ceramic plates and bowls. It saves on cleanup because there are no dishes to clean.

However, disposable dinnerware is not as strong as ceramic dinnerware and it does create a significant amount of waste.
