EATware

by Steve
Saturday, October 08, 2005

EATware is a new line of paper plates and containers made from bamboo and sugar cane fibers, starch, and water.

The company that makes them, Glory Team Industrial, Ltd., claims that EATware will completely decompose in landfills within 180 days, or within 2 days if submersed in water. They even claim their manufacturing process creates zero emissions, zero waste.

Because they're made from plant fibers, the company claims that can be used as fodder for farm animals.

EATware is microwaveable, and is freezer and steamer safe.

Glory Team Industrial is currently looking for investors.

  • isn't steaming basically the same thing as submerging in water?

  • Edible plates! If EATware can be fed to animals, surely people can eat it, too.

    I'm reminded of The Edible Beer Bottle, a pretzel-flour container, which was featured in a 1930s movie. Drink a little, eat a little.

  • I would worry about the mosture content in the food itself. How long would it take for a moist food like spaghetti with sauce to disolve the container?

  • To answer the questions:
    Steam safe means when using EATware products in steam cooker which is very common in Asia cruising. The food and container don’t contact water directly; food is cooked by hot boiled steam, where the product can stay steady and firm.
    Submerging in water on the other hand, is when put EATware products in flowing water, the material will break into fine fiber which is totally natural.

    The EATware products are made from all natural plants fibers such as bamboo and sugar cane. Those fibers are totally environment friendly. When consumers dispose them, the products will be biodegrade into earth. However, the fiber is not edible.

    EATware has it’s own additive which is made from starch. The additive enables the food container to resist hot water and hot oil up to 140℃. There is no problem to use the container for soup, spaghetti, french fries, or any food you prefer. Many people use EATware product as supermarket food packaging and restaurant take-out container.

    After all, it’s purpose is single serving food container which allows you to dispose it after use, and not making any harm to the environment.

  • I wonder if over 2 years later these people are still more concerned about themselves than the environment? I think it is fabulous there are companies trying to find better alternatives to the crap we've produced for our own convenience...
