Love the Bambu and the Verterra. I work for a caterer and we’ve used both. The Bambu is a more sturdy (like a solid wood plate) and the veterra is much more unique (every plate looks a different). If you need larger quantities for big parties, these guys have them both in bulk: http://www.joannehudson.com/disposable-plates-green-dinnerware.html

Good to know! Personally, if I have to use disposables, I like VerTerra’s version; plates made from fallen leaves. Supposedly breaking down in about 2 weeks, and also available at Whole Foods stores and other natural foods marekts. (I don’t have a compost pile, but maybe that could be your next test??) http://www.verterra.com/dinnerware.php

I always wanted to buy these but was never sure if they’d really break down. Now I know. Thanks Starre!
