Are paper plates better than Styrofoam?

There are many who will argue one way or another. Right off the bat, many would assume that paper is more environmentally-friendly than polystyrene (generic term for Styrofoam) since they are made from trees, whereas polystyrene is made from natural gas and petroleum derivatives. Trees are a renewable resource. Gas and petroleum are non-renewable. Case closed, right? No. Both paper and polystyrene have their pros and cons. Some paper plates have a polyethylene coating to stop liquids from penetrating. This waxy coating comes from fossil fuels, which are not environmentally-friendly resources. Manufacturing polystyrene plates require fewer resources and can be argued that because of the engineering process polystyrene is a more eco-friendly option than paper. Yet, paper plates will decompose faster than polystyrene. Both materials can be recycled but paper is much easier to recycle than foam since the recycling centers that accept foam are hard to come by. When comparing the two materials in the end, the difference in environmental impact seems to be small. Go with what you like, use less of whatever it is, and recycle as much as possible.

Can Styrofoam plates go in microwave? Can paper plates go in the microwave? Can plastic plates go in the microwave?

Always follow label instructions. If the packaging says the plates are microwave safe, then you can use them in the microwave. Is it the best idea to microwave polystyrene and plastic? You may want to use your own judgment on that one. Polystyrene is a type of plastic whose chemical makeup can seep into your food when heated. Certain plastic should never go in the microwave due to the plastic melting and poisoning your food. Yes, they might all be microwave-safe, but it is a better idea to reheat your food on a real plate in the microwave oven if given the choice.

Is Styrofoam recyclable? Are paper plates recyclable? Are plastic plates recyclable?

Yes, all of the plates are recyclable. Styrofoam is in fact recyclable, but its acceptance is not extensively available. Polystyrene can be recycled in communities that offer foam #6 recycling. Paper plates are recyclable with other paper products. Plastic plates may also be disposed of with your plastic stream of recyclables.

What are sugarcane plates?

Can sugarcane plates be the answer to all of our disposable plate problems? Maybe. Sugarcane plates are strong, they are cut resistant, and do not allow grease to seep through them. They are microwave safe and freezer safe. They are a nice alternative to paper, plastic and polystyrene plates. This 100% reclaimed fiber and renewable raw resource material is compostable and biodegradable, so sugarcane plates are very environmentally-friendly with no trees or petroleum in sight.

Are paper plates biodegradable or decomposable?

Yes, some really are! Consumer Reports conducted a study on Chinet Classic White plates and Hefty Basics Plates claiming that they are as durably strong as they are “biodegradable in home composting.” Consumer Reports said Chinet disintegrated in just five weeks and Hefty completed disintegrated in an impressive three weeks! Some plates such as Dixie that never even claimed to be biodegradable also disintegrated in less than three months. This certainly is good news for Earth!
