Preserve ® On The Go Tableware
It has recently been my pleasure to review Preserve® Tableware. Preserve is an innovative company that has been highlighted in the New York Times and Better Homes and Gardens Magazines. They make eco-friendly products for the home that are not only stylish and strong, but are affordable too. On top of that, the company has a strong social and environmental ethic that definitely qualifies it as a business that all Eco-Babe’s should know about.
Founded in 1996 by Eric Hudson, Preserve has grown from making one product, the Preserve Toothbrush, to offering an array of essentials for the home. From razors to colanders, Preserve has just what you need to make your kitchen and bathroom eco-sanctuaries!
While I am very excited about all of the products Preserve has to offer, I’d like to take a moment to fill you in about Preserve® On the Go Tableware. This family of products includes: 7” plates, 10” plates, tumblers, forks, knives and spoons. They are the eco-friendly alternative to disposable tableware. All of these products are made from 100% recycled plastic and are themselves recyclable. In fact if your community doesn’t offer #5 plastic recycling, you can drop off your used Preserve products and some Whole Foods stores or mail them back to Preserve.
While they are disposable, I have used mine as my everyday tableware for a few months now, and I have not thrown away a single piece! Preserve® On the Go Tableware has exceeded my expectations in durability, reusability and convenience. In fact, I have recommended Preserve Tableware to all of my college friends for just this reason. They even stood up to an outdoor potluck and easily held the weight of a baked potato, steak and beans with no breaking, bending or leaking! On top of that, clean up is a breeze because they are dishwasher safe. I have compared Preserve Tableware with some of the more popular brands on the market including: Hefty Serve 'n Store® Everyday Disposable Tableware,
Dixie® Heavyweight plates, and Chinet®, and across the board Preserve is the best!
