Non-Polluting Picnics: Eco Products for Parties

Autumn is upon us. So with the last vestiges of warmth threatening to flee, let's take advantage of the sunshine and picnic!  But with picnics come waste and we want to  know which Eco Products can help us minimise our environmental impact.

Plastic plates and cutlery may be convenient, but being non-biodegradable means added waste to landfill.  So we've had our eye on some more Eco Friendly Products like Bioplates Large and Small plates, available from Todae's Eco Store.  They're made from the frond of the Areca Nut Palm, which falls naturally from the tree, meaning no trees are cut down and it's made from completely natural materials.

Likewise, Greenwaves Biodegradable Cutlery is 100% natural.  Made from compostable cornstarch, you won't have to worry about polluting our earth for the sake of a slice of quiche.  Win! Alternatively, you could just take your old dinnerware, hope it doesn't break and hand-wash it after.  Pinterest shows us how -

* Beach picnic with some old ceramic dishes, throw pillows and a gorgeous spread. You know, just a normal Sunday afternoon.

* Car bonnet picnic. More proof that not all picnics need to take place on a grassy  knoll.

As Fun As They Are Eco-ally Re-Usable

Re-Usable fits into the category of Eco Friendly Eco Products. Some of the things we waste on a regular basis are the wraps, foils and plastic cups we use to contain our food and drinks every day. It’s something that I personally feel the worst about throwing away. I try to use my plastic sandwich wraps more than once, but half way through day two it becomes so repulsive that I’m put off eating the sandwich all together.

So, I’ve lived my life not knowing that there was any decent way to solve this issue, until more recently. Todae.com has hit the nail on the head once again, making my idea of a re-useable wrap look like rubbish in comparison to what it has in store. The Re-Usable Sandwich Wrap and Pockets are eco-friendly materials designed in the form of an envelope for your food to fit perfectly into whilst remaining fresh for however long your day might be. 

Another plus is that every time to purchase a wrap or pocket, 4MyEarth Fabrics will donate 15 cents of that money to Save the Children and Keep Australia Beautiful. In other words, this is really a win-win situation. You get your forever-lasting sandwich wrap and a pat on the back for doing so.

More eco-friendly win-wins can be found on the Kitchen, Catering, Picnic component of the Todae online store.
