Compostable Dishware

I discovered these compostable cups made of a sugar industry derivative called “bagasse” while partaking in my weekly cup of solar-roasted cacao drink at the Farmer’s Market. That’s my used cup in the photo above.

Online environmental products store Branch carries a complete line of “bagasse” dinnerware, and at $2-4 for a pack of 50 they’re an excellent alternative to the typical woodpulp, plastic, and styrofoam disposable cups and party plates.
