Plastic Plates

Plastic plates, unlike most paper plates, are always cut resistant and nonabsorbent. These plates are lightweight but still sturdy for heavy food items such as big burgers, baked beans and corn on the cob. Plastic plates might be considered the most attractive type of disposable dinnerware, too. The glossy finish and border designs add to its appeal. Although these plates will last a long time before they begin to biodegrade in the landfill, they are only meant for one-time use.
