What is the difference between a recyclable item and a compostable item?

A recyclable item can be broken down into its raw materials and made into new products after it has been used. Compostable products biodegrade and naturally break down into a nutrient rich humus that can be used for soil and plants.

Which option is better for the environment?

Both compostable and recyclable products are great for the environment. Certain items have to be made recyclable over compostable purely so they can be fit for their purpose. If you choose to use eco-friendly catering supplies then some will inevitably be recyclable while others are compostable.

What brands do you stock?
