Ecological Plates

In ancient times, when plastic did not exist, all our frequently used tools and utensils were made of natural materials.

In addition to clay, it is known that many populations used large leaves - of various plants - as tools for positioning and transporting food.

Why buy organic food?

Spain is one of the great powers of world tourism. Because of the number of people who visit us every year, we are one of the first three countries with the highest number of foreign tourists. Have you ever seen a tourist travel with his dishes? We know the answer and we understand that tourism is one of the main causes of the consumption of plastic plates. If to the plastic that serves the tourist activity in all our paradises, we add the internal consumption of plastic sheets, with facility, we will obtain disturbing data. With the knowledge of these data and the favorable statistics generated by the current legislation, it is expected that the use of plastic for the manufacture of a large number of products will soon be banned. Among the products that would be banned are plastic cups. That's why we invite you to start using ecological boards, with biodegradable or compostable materials, which support your work and reduce the ecological footprint you leave on the planet.

Problems caused by plastic sheets

Plastic is present in our lives at a level few people understand. Amazed by its advantages, we incorporated it - with great force - into our whole lives. So we broke with the natural balance and the earlier solution of plastic became a big problem. In addition to the uncontrollable and obvious invasion of plastic, such as in seas, oceans and rivers, we also consume plastic. Whether it's the misuse of packaging, production breakdowns or the micro-particles of plastic swimming in our waters, this hazardous material ends up in our food and drinks. As if this were not enough, it is well known that the food industry uses types of plastic that are highly toxic. For example, white polystyrene trays are widely used in the sale of meat, fish, cheese, fruit and other foods. Today it is known that these dishes contain styrene, a carcinogenic substance that eventually attaches itself to our food. The invitation is to stop using this type of cuisine and start using ecological dishes as mentioned above.
