Green the Office Holiday Party

The date and the location for the holiday work party is likely set.  But, it’s not too late to get cups, serving utensils and other party supplies that are ecofriendly.   

Cups

For hot drinks, EcoGreenOffice has a variety of FDA approved paper cups made from recycled content.  The Bare Ecoforward Recycled Content PCF Hot Cups, for example, are made from 90% post-consumer material.  A 10-ounce pack of 50 is available for the reduced price of $4.99.  Hot cup lids are also available on the site. 

EcoGreenOffice has unbleached hot cup sleeves for paper cups of all sizes, made from 100% post-consumer content.  The sleeves are recyclable, reusable and compostable.
  
For cold drinks, EcoGreenOffice offers clear cups and lids made from recycled PET bottles.  You can order these cups in different sizes and in cartons from 50 to 1,000.
  
Corn-based compostable straws are also supplied through EcoGreenOffice.

Serving Utensils

EcoGreenOffice has heat tolerable compostable forks, knives and spoons.   But, remember, if a product is compostable, that doesn’t mean it can be recycled, or that it will compost in the landfill.  Check to see if your municipality offers composting.  If composting isn’t available, you can still purchase forks and other cutlery made from plant starch — a renewable resource — from EcoGreenOffice.

Dinnerware

Plates made from sugarcane, another renewable resource, are also available through EcoGreenOffice.  They are sturdy, and microwaveable and freezer safe.  Available in 6# or 10#.  These plates are also compostable.

Napkins

EcoGreenOffice has napkins made from 100% recycled paper in brown or white.  A 500 pack is available for as low as $9.99. 
  
Beverage napkins made from 100 percent recycled material are also an option through EcoGreenOffice.

These party supplies can be used regularly in the office kitchen all year long.  Let people at the party know what can be recycled, what can be composted and what needs to go in the trash --this will help ensure that all goes smoothly with the recycling process downstream.   

Choose these 100% renewable plates made from sugarcane and other green eating ware from EcoGreenOffice.
