This Earth Day, Say NO to Plastic & YES to EcoSoul

Did you know an average human consumes a credit card worth of microplastics every week? And, if you're wondering where this comes from, well, it's the single-use plastics that we dispose of right after using them. This Earth Day, here's how you can create an impact that is green and plastic-free. 

Before we get into it, here's a fact. Single-use plastic products like disposable plates are meant to be used just once. And, once you are all done having a full-course meal on them, they don't just vanish at the bottom of that trash can. These single-use plastic products are made from non-renewable resources like petroleum. Simply put, they take a long time to biodegrade. And, before they get to that stage, this plastic trash often ends up in our oceans or landfills.

With that said, here's how to ditch the plastic this Earth Day and make a positive impact using compostable tableware.

Why Ditch Single-Use Plastics?

The problem with single-use plastics is that they are meant to be used just once. And, considering the worldwide plastic production, 50% of it is single-use.

Once it's time to dispose of them, these plastic bits of trash usually end up in oceans or landfills. Because regular plastic disposables like plastic straws take about 500 years to start breaking down, these plastic products tend to stick around for a very long time. Till then, they are often mistaken as food by marine life or land animals, and this leads to choking entanglement and death.

Once it's time to decompose, these plastic products further break down into microplastics which get mixed with the ocean waves or soil and always end up entering our food chain.

What's The Alternative?

Unlike single-use plastic products, EcoSoul products like compostable tableware are made straight from plants. Made from plants like naturally fallen Areca palm leaves, upcycled sugarcane bagasse, fastest-growing bamboo, and plastic-free PLA corn starch, these products are also certified compostable.

By using these products, you say no to plastic. Our products like compostable plates and bowls are made from plants and come with a back-to-nature promise. So, while single-use plastic products tend to stick around for a long time and contaminate the ecosystem when they break down, EcoSoul products like compostable drinkware break down into compost within a few weeks after disposal. The compost formed is super rich in nutrients and can be added to soil as manure.
