Fair trade, compostable, biodegradable dishware made from sugar
It's great to see "Made in China" on disposable products that are actually fair trade and won't be around long after I'm compost myself. Branch Biodegradable Plates, Cups + Utensils are made from bagasse, which is extracted from the sugar cane. The utensils are made from 4:1 mix of potato starch and vegetable oil. So if you end up crashing on a desert island, after you've eaten all the rations, you can give a try to melting these down and fermenting them into a digestif. 25 bowls for $4 USD, 50 cups for $7 USD, and 50 sets of utensils for $13.50.
