FAQs
What is included in a disposable tableware kit?
A disposable tableware kit typically includes an assortment of single-use plates, cups, cutlery and napkins scaled for a specific number of guests. Plates can come in a mix of larger dinner plates and smaller side plates that are made from paper or plastic. Drinking cups can handle hot or cold drinks. Cutlery is individually packaged or pre-rolled and the napkins are made from paper or multi-ply linen-style material. If you don’t want to use disposable tableware, we have a selection of cutlery, dinnerware, drinking glasses and more.
What are the benefits of using a disposable tableware kit?
Using a disposable tableware kit gives you a convenient, hygienic and cost-effective option for events, meetings or busy households. Disposable tableware kits eliminate washing, drying and storing heavy dinnerware, saving time and effort. Single-use plates, cups and cutlery reduce the risk of spreading germs and bacteria at large gatherings and events and can be made with sustainable, plant-based materials. They also provide all-in-one convenience, so you don’t have to shop for individual pieces.
How should disposable plates and bowls be disposed of?
Disposable plates and bowls should be thrown out in the garbage bin, green bin or recycling bin depending on their material and how dirty they are. Paper plates and bowls that are uncoated and heavily soiled with food should be put in the green bin or garbage depending on local municipal guidelines. If you have paper plates with plastic or wax coating, they cannot be recycled and must go in the garbage. Clean plastic plates and containers may be accepted in recycling programs depending on the type of plastic, but many plastic plates and bowls must be thrown out in the garbage. Compostable plates and bowls made from plant-based products can go in the green bin or your compost bin if your local guidelines accept them.
What other serving supplies should I use with a disposable tableware kit?
To complement your disposable tableware kit, you should consider getting dedicated serving tools, presentation pieces and other items to help serve food and drinks smoothly. Look for pieces like serving trays, serving tongs and spatulas. If you’re setting up a table or buffet table, consider getting a tablecloth, napkins and extra plates and cups.
