Whether you are throwing a party or planning a get-together, disposable supplies can make your life much easier. It eliminates the risk of breaking, which is guaranteed to happen if kids are around. Cleaning up is also more convenient as you can just pack them up and throw them away.    

However, most of these single-use products often end up in places where they shouldn’t be: the ocean and other bodies of water. And what started out as a celebration ends up being destructive.

So, to prevent this from happening, your best option is to use eco-friendly party decorations and supplies. It offers many benefits, including the following:

Compostable

Every year, over 300 million tonnes of plastic is produced for a wide range of applications. Around eight million tonnes find their way into the ocean, making up 80% of all the debris in it. In this condition, it takes 450 years for the plastic materials to break. And unless someone has taken it out, every plastic product that ended up in the ocean is still there, poisoning or fatally injuring various marine species. Over time, this will threaten global food security, health, and its very existence.   

One way that can help reduce plastic pollution is by composting them. It is far from being the silver bullet that can solve the crisis, but even small steps will eventually help reach the destination. 

This is where eco-friendly party decorations and supplies come in. After the party, you can transform the plastic waste into something helpful to your yard or garden. For this, you may simply toss them into your compost bin and let it do its magic. But, just make sure that there are no food residues beforehand.

Biodegradable

Compost bins offer limited space for compostable plastic products, so there is a chance that you will have to dispose of some of your eco-friendly party supplies. This is fine, too, as all compostable materials are biodegradable.

While it may still take some time for them to decompose, the process is much faster than with traditional plastic products. What is more, these materials do not leave any toxic chemicals or harmful residue. Instead, they release useful nutrients into the soil as the earth breaks them down. 

Sustainable Product Supply Chain

Eco-friendly party supplies are usually made from renewable materials like corn, sugarcane, and bamboo, which means that they do not disrupt the ecosystem. On top of this, it takes less energy to produce compostable plastic products.

Non-Toxic

Most single-use plastic products are made using a combination of chemicals that might cause some health problems. Some of these substances are released when the plastic container is exposed to something hot, like freshly-prepared food or drinks, after which it can get into your system. And that is why if any of your friends or family have allergies, using eco-friendly party supplies can literally be a lifesaver. These materials are free of bleaches, dyes, and all other chemical treatments. Even the inks used for design are made from plant-based products, which means that they are safe.

So, with eco-friendly supplies, you can stop worrying about adverse health reactions and focus on having a great time. You can also have peace of mind knowing that you are doing your part for the environment. So for your next party or event, consider using these eco-friendly decorations and supplies.
