Why are paper plates better than plastic?

The fact that they are called paper plates suggests that they are plates made of paper. Since paper comes from trees, the logic is self-evident.

Since paper doesn’t absorb toxic chemicals and can last for thousands of years, it’s still a big upgrade in terms of environmental protection. TLP Paper Playes typically breaks down within a year and is made mostly of organic materials, although most contain small amounts of oil, bleach, and chemicals.

There are many benefits to using paper plates. First of all, they are completely biodegradable and can also be composted. At the same time, you don’t need to clean them, thus reducing energy costs.

One reason for using disposable plates and cutlery may be that people like to take food with them, either to the room or to where they are going in the morning.

However, plastic cups – even those that are fully recyclable – are not the most environmentally friendly option. They contribute to the fossil fuel industry and can persist in landfills (or oceans) for hundreds of years. This does not take into account the energy and water requirements of the production process.
