Ditch the plastic cutlery at your summer BBQs for Target’s new biodegradable tableware
Target now carries compostable plates and cutlery from eco-conscious World Centric. The brand donates 25 percent of profits to grassroots organizations.
Ah, summer. When we spend as much time as we can enjoying the great outdoors, while also creating a lot of waste by using single-use plates and utensils at cookouts and picnics. But, Target is here to save us from this paradox. The mega-retailer now carries plant-based, compostable tableware products from the eco-conscious organization World Centric.
The collection includes plates made from unbleached plant fibers, such as sugarcane, bamboo or wheat straw (read: not trees); cutlery and cold-liquid cups made from TPLA, a compostable, plant-based plastic; and hot-liquid cups made from FSC-certified paper with a plant-based bio lining. The products are now available online, and at 750 Target stores nationwide, per a press release.
Beyond eco-friendly flatware, World Centric partners with environmental and social organizations working towards a greener, more sustainable planet. The brand donates at least 25 percent of its net profit to support “grassroots global organizations and non-profits dedicated to reducing human suffering.”
