Bioplastics for Dinnerware: A Sustainable Choice for Everyday Living
Plastic is everywhere - from packaging to household goods - and unfortunately, much of it ends up in landfills or our oceans. Each year, millions of tons of plastic waste pollute the environment, threatening wildlife and marine ecosystems. That’s why many families are looking for alternatives that are safe, practical, and kinder to the planet. One of the most promising options is bioplastics.
🌱 What Are Bioplastics?
Bioplastics are materials made partly or entirely from renewable, plant-based sources such as corn, sugarcane, or wheat straw. Unlike traditional plastics, which rely on petroleum, bioplastics can reduce our dependence on fossil fuels and make use of agricultural byproducts that would otherwise go to waste.
When used in dinnerware, bioplastics provide the durability and convenience of plastic - but with a smaller environmental footprint.
🍽️ Why Bioplastics Are Perfect for Dinnerware
Eco-Friendly by Design
Often made with plant fibres such as wheat straw, corn starch, or bamboo.

Food-safe and non-toxic, even under heat.
A healthier choice for children and everyday family use.

Ideal for picnics, caravanning, camping, or everyday family meals.
🌾 Wheat Straw: A Leading Bioplastic for Plates & Bowls
At Elavoland, we use high quality wheat straw plastic - a blend of 70% repurposed wheat straw (a byproduct of harvesting) and 30% high-quality, food-safe PP (polypropylene). This combination delivers the best of both worlds:
Strength and durability for everyday family life.
Heat resistance (unlike bamboo fibre, which can warp with hot foods).
A smooth, waxy-soft texture that feels beautiful to use.
Long-lasting performance, with plates and bowls designed to last 5+ years.
Unlike melamine plates, which can leach harmful chemicals when heated, wheat straw bioplastics are a safer and healthier alternative.
🌍 A Step Toward a Cleaner Planet
Switching to bioplastic dinnerware helps reduce plastic pollution and makes use of renewable resources. Every small change - like choosing reusable, eco-friendly plates and bowls - contributes to a bigger impact in protecting our oceans, our wildlife, and the future for our children.
At Elavoland, we believe sustainability should also be beautiful. That’s why our eco-friendly wheat straw dinnerware is designed with unique colours, modern style, and family practicality in mind.
