100% Compostable Disposable Paper Plates Bulk [10" 3-Comp 50 Pack], Bamboo Plates, Eco Friendly, Biodegradable, Sturdy Large Dinner Party Plates, Heavy-Duty, Unbleached by Earth's Natural Alternative

Functions just like you would expect a paper plate to- use & toss - I don’t think you should expect multiple uses from each or anything - I’ve seen other bamboo ones you can wash & reuse- these are not that imo.

Great

I rely on these plates weekly for my many cookouts. Very reliable construction and I can add my rubbish to the fire pit for the kids. 😂

I stopped using paperware years ago because I don't like one-use items. We hosted a family reunion weekend recently, though, and I decided to try paper goods for it to reduce extra activity in our small-ish kitchen. I was so happy to find these plates. They worked perfectly for buffet-style meals, held up to lasagna and tossed salad (I used just a single plate - no doubling up - and it worked well without any edge sagging, softening or soak-through. We loaded our plates at the buffet but did sit at tables, so there was no lap-eating (I think I'd double a plate for that, though maybe it wouldn't be necessary). The event happened during a dry spell, so I soaked the used plates in a dishtub of water overnight and tore them up a bit before putting them in my compost heap, just to get them started breaking down. Those were probably unnecessary steps, but reduced the plates' appeal to critters and gave me a good chance to assess their sturdiness. They were amazing - held their shape even after an overnight soak. The soaked plates were even a bit hard to tear up in stacks of more than two. This is good news - paperware that isn't an ecological burden. I will use these again should I ever end up entertaining on that scale. By the way, the 9" size is excellent for this kind of dining because the size is so manageable and the price is good ;-) If they don't compost well I'll alter the review, but so far, really good.

I have a full set of 50 plates and cutlery for larger family parties, but the process of washing said plates takes hours; I just wanted something easier this year where I could throw all the contents of the plate and the plates themselves on my compost pile.The plates themselves seem pretty sturdy; I like the divided compartments a great deal - particularly great for picky kids that do not want their meal components to touch.The big issue I had with this for my party was the tendency of the plates to stick together. I just had these in one pile and as I looked around, I saw that many folks had accidentally grabbed two plates. If you were setting these out at individual place settings, you could avoid this problem, but our family gigs are a bit more casual than that. Since most people had two plates, I can't say if many had problems with seepage. I personally did not, but I also did not plate anything with gravy or sauce.I have turned these a few times in my compost; it's been about a month since they were placed there. They have flattened and are beginning to tear a bit. I think they will break down faster than the cups I procured for the same occasion ( HeloGreen Coffee Hot Cups | 12 oz. Compostable Cups Premium Paper Hot Cups - Hot Beverage Cup for Coffee, Tea, Water and More! - WHITE - (100 Count) ).

I've purchased the 9" plates a few times over the last couple of years. I've been more than happy with the quality and sturdiness which has kept me coming back. The most recent batch are clearly thinner and less sturdy though. The overall value has definitely decreased. I'll be considering other options next time around.

If you are looking for something you don't feel bad throwing away after use these are it. They do the job but are not strong for a plateful of h'orderves.

Highly recommend

These plates are incredible.. !! We’ve used them for saucy pastas to steak buffets and have never let us down with leaks or cutting through with steak knives!!And best of all they are environmentally friendly!! Highly, highly recommend this brand from this company!!Hope they never discontinue.. Tyou!!

These plates were better than I had expected them to be and they lasted with lots of food on the plate including sauces. No issues on the strength of the plate. Environmentally friendly.

Small plates for small treats. Don't leak. If there is sticky stuff or oil no dishes to wash. Just toss them away. If still clean I save and use again. Sturdy.

I have to say I was genuinely surprised at the quality of this plate, well made and sturdy. I love the sectioned areas for food which is a convenient aspect of this plate which not only ensures proper meal portions but also keeps gravy in the applicable area. This will now be my go to plate in future. Highly recommend this plate.

I usually just use regular plates but I was hosting dozens and dozens of people outdoors so I looked everywhere for plates that were compostable and were from sustainable material. I composted these after. Check with your municipality whether you can compost products such as these, but these are certainly much much better than styrofoam plates and also better than paper plates. They were a hit at the party and I kept the leftovers and used a few at another party recently.
