Zilchables products are a great alternative to nonrenewable plastic plates, cups, and cutlery. Use them for picnics, parties, or everyday needs. Unlike traditional plasticware, Zilchables makes products from 100% renewable resources, like corn or wheat straw pulp, instead of oil. These crops grow back again every year, unlike oil which is nonrenewable. Also, Zilchables products are intended to be composted in a municipal or commercial composting facility, and are BPI Certified Compostable and meet Cedar Grove’s composting guidelines. This way, the materials that go into making Zilchables can return to the soil.
