Tread Lightly- Help Portland Catering Go Green!

February 4th, 2010 by Adria in General Comments

NEW at Portland Catering Company: Corn Resin Forks and Knives. Want to reduce plastic waste? Biodegradable silverware- just add $.25pp and help lessen our burden on the planet! Manufactured from corn starch, a renewable resource, PLA plastics biodegradable into mostly carbon dioxide and water and are compostable in 6-12 months.  Since the resin does not contain BPA, like plastic, it will not leech chemicals into food, drinks or the soil. 

As always, our plates and bowls are biodegradable. 

 

“The resin, known as polylactic acid (PLA), has several things going for it. It’s made from a renewable resource, which means it has a big leg up—both politically and environmentally—on conventional plastic packaging, which uses an estimated 200,000 barrels of oil a day in the United States. Also, PLA is in principle compostable, meaning that it will break down under certain conditions into harmless natural compounds. That could take pressure off the nation’s mounting landfills, since plastics already take up 25 percent of dumps by volume.”
