Earth's Natural Alternative 100% Compostable Disposable Paper Plates Bulk [9" 50 Pack], Bamboo Plates, Eco Friendly, Biodegradable, Sturdy Large Dinner Party Plates, Heavy-Duty, Unbleached

The quality is good. They are strong. The selling point for me is that bamboo grows a whole lot quicker than trees. I haven't had one that leaks or folds.

As expected

I stopped using paperware years ago because I don't like one-use items. We hosted a family reunion weekend recently, though, and I decided to try paper goods for it to reduce extra activity in our small-ish kitchen. I was so happy to find these plates. They worked perfectly for buffet-style meals, held up to lasagna and tossed salad (I used just a single plate - no doubling up - and it worked well without any edge sagging, softening or soak-through. We loaded our plates at the buffet but did sit at tables, so there was no lap-eating (I think I'd double a plate for that, though maybe it wouldn't be necessary). The event happened during a dry spell, so I soaked the used plates in a dishtub of water overnight and tore them up a bit before putting them in my compost heap, just to get them started breaking down. Those were probably unnecessary steps, but reduced the plates' appeal to critters and gave me a good chance to assess their sturdiness. They were amazing - held their shape even after an overnight soak. The soaked plates were even a bit hard to tear up in stacks of more than two. This is good news - paperware that isn't an ecological burden. I will use these again should I ever end up entertaining on that scale. By the way, the 9" size is excellent for this kind of dining because the size is so manageable and the price is good ;-) If they don't compost well I'll alter the review, but so far, really good.

Got these to use for my cat’s wet food. They work well and hold up to some of the brothier meals well. I’ll be buying them again when I run out. I like that they’re a more sustainable option. The price isn’t half bad either

Good

I've been using these plates for a few years. They are solid, don't cut easily, and OK with fluids. They are quickly compostable and better for the environment than paper or plastic.

Love the divided paper plates. Hard to find them in the stores. Just what I wanted.

My compost is very happy with this product.
