Preserve Everyday
Any elegant and eco-friendly hostess will tell you that using plastic disposables at a party is to be avoided at all costs. Not only is does it look cheap, it’s incredibly wasteful and sends a poor message to your guests about your attitude towards the environment.
When you need extra place settings, we typically recommend using a rental service but we know that there are times that call for an affordable and unbreakable alternative. For an eco-chic option, try the stylish and sustainable tableware by Recycline.
Made from 100% recycled plastic, the plates, tumblers and cutlery are reusable and dishwasher safe. Available in Tulip Red and Pear Green, the plates come in two sizes and in packs of 10 ranging in price from $7 for the large and $4.5o for the small. Packed in a reusable tube, the matching cutlery retails for $5.50 and features a set of 8 forks, knives and spoons. The tumblers, which come in both red and green as well as Ocean Teal, hold 16 oz of liquid and come 10 to a pack for $5.99.
The best part is that the entire collection of products can be recycled again (when you are finally done with them) by sending them back to Recycline or dropping them off at select Whole Foods (coming January 2009).
