Setting the Table for Sustainable Shindigs

Plastic utensils derived from crude oil. Aluminum cans produced with the help of massive amounts of electricity. Non-biodegradable disposable plates. Sure, it might be fun while it lasts, but is your party going to be an ecological disaster the next morning?

Fear not, brave host/hostess, the Eco Party Pack from Eco My Party totally has you covered. Prepackaged with everything you need for anywhere from a 10-seat soiree to a 50-person hoedown, the focus throughout the kit is on sustainable production and biodegradable cleanup, right down to the packing tape that holds the thing together.

There’s no shortage of creativity in the Eco Party Pack, either. The utensils have a smooth, stylish design, while the rough-edged, unadorned white of the cups, plates, and bowls, is enough to reveal their humble, sugarcane roots, while setting them apart from traditional party supplies. While environmentally-friendly get-togethers are nothing new, they haven’t always been so stylishly presented.

However, what I find most appealing about the Eco Party Pack is that it tries to cover its low-carbon bases from start to finish. Production and transportation are both taken into account, making this the closest thing to a carbon-neutral party set you’ll see for a while.
