Disposable dinnerware? On an eco blog? Now you`ve seen it all, right? Previously only available in Asia and Europe, Japan`s WASARA dinnerware is finally available in North America. Strong and sturdier than its paper counterparts (not to mention far more chic), WASARA`s wares are also biodegradable and completely compostable. (That is, if you have a compost heap.) Plus, they`re made with 100% tree-free sustainable materials: sugar cane fibre, bamboo and reed pulp. Order yours in advance of spring and be pret-a-picnic! Price: Individual pieces, from $9 US (pack of 12 small plates). Sample pack (one each of all 14 pieces) $18 US. Available at: www.branchhome.com
