"Great value, good plates"

"I was very impressed with the strength of the plates! I piled high the food and the plate didn't sink at all! Solid Solid Solid plates!!! It was way stronger than the standard paper and one use plastic coded plates at the grocery store. I felt good buying a product that is helping the environment. But to be honest, the pricing is not competitive for large cities that have grocery stores on every corner. Most 100 plate products cost less than $5.00. If they lower their price to $8.00 or $9.00 it would be very competitive with the strength of the plate. I found wheat plates of 100 for around $5.00 but they were just a little smaller at 7”. I just don’t understand paying anything over $10.00 for one time use plates. I did try to use a wet scrubbing brush on the plate to see if they could be reused and noticed a thick pulp like material from the scrubbing on top of the plate. This just shows it will break down nicely in the environment."

"For the last couple of years I've spent most of my time living/traveling in a tiny house. My water is stored in a tank that has to be refilled routinely, which is a minor hassle and one of the few downsides. Doing dishes eats up a lot of my water capacity and makes those refills happen more often, there's limited counter space for dishes to dry on. It can be difficult to securely store dishes in a way they won't be bumped off of the shelves when driving, too. (And alright, I'm a little lazy too.)

I try and use mostly disposable dishes for this reason, but have felt increasingly guilty about how much styrofoam and plastic trash I was producing. With these, I'm still producing waste -- but my guilt is at least alleviated a bit knowing these will degrade much quicker than styrofoam.

The plates themselves are very sturdy, similar to the extra thick paper ones. The price isn't much different from those either. I have used in the microwave for a couple minutes at a time with no problems."
