Preferred term

disposable plates and plastic implements  

Definition

  • Disposable plates are probably as old as the human desire to be rid of used dinnerware. Contemporary consumers are faced with many choices of disposable ware that range from paper to plastic, but the distinction between green disposable implements and other products is not always straightforward.
