The smell of BBQs are making their way back for the summer (solar BBQs of course). Why not ditch those floppy paper plates or indestructible plastics and dine in eco-style? Made of 100% organically grown bamboo these plates are an environmentally friendly alternative to flimsy paper plates. This innovative range of semi-disposable dining was recognized by Fortune Magazine as Best Product Design. They definitely look natural and are FDA approved food-safe. What’s also good about these is that they are designed to biodegrade in 4-6 months. Package of eight 9" plates from £8 available from heals.co.uk
