Biodegradable means that the product will break down into water, carbon dioxide, and biomass in a short amount of time. When something is "compostable", it means that it is made of organic matter that will break down in a compost system or land fill.
Thankfully, many more eco-friendly options are quickly becoming available in the food service industry that are good for business and good for the planet - and great for the planet. One of the principal materials being used today in place of Styrofoam for disposable tableware is bagasse( a byproduct of the sugarcane refining process). In layman's terms, bagasse is what is left over after the sugarcane stalks are crushed to extract the juices. Since bagasse comes from the earth it is easily converted by nature into simple, stable compounds that are absorbed back into the ecosystem.
Cut Energy Bills… Real Savings Cutting energy costs is beneficial to you and the environment. Here are a few money saving tips:
1.First a rule. Turn off lights when you are leaving a room.
2.Did you know when you are cooking with ceramic or glass the oven temperature can be lowered by 25o F? You use the same recipe time.
3.Turn off exhaust fans as soon as you are finished. These fans are sources of heat and air conditioning loss.
4.Speaking of fans. Ceiling fans should move counter-clockwise to force warm air back down into the room. Reverse in summer.
5.Consider a programmable thermostat, which will automatically change temperatures when you are sleeping or gone during the day.
We are going green with products made from renewable resource such as sugarcane, or corn. Did you know that is takes 100 years for Styrofoam to decompost? Our biodegradable products can compost to "earth ready" in 50 to 180 days.
