Compostable Foodservice Items

Compostable plastics are produced from renewable raw material like starch (e.g. corn, potato). They are not toxic in production, nor do they release toxic material when biodegrading. Because compostables decompose back into carbon dioxide, water, and biomass, they are better for the environment than conventional plastic. Green Store's compostable eating ware is certified by the Biodegradable Products Institute. 

Tax and an e-commerce platform fee will be added during checkout.
