I love it when PR people stumble upon our blog because I am always surprised at what they pitch. This time it was a line of of paper plates that are biodegradable in-home composting and free of inks, dyes or coatings. Hefty® Basics™ paper plates are stronger than everyday plates at a value price, and provide a eco-friendly choice. We were sent the 45-count 8 5/8-inch lunch plate packages and 24-count 10 1/4-inch dinner plate packages.

We love these paper plates. They are very sturdy. And they hold up really well with juicy foods and can be carried with one hand. We even used ours for chili. We didn’t get to test how bio-degradable they are however but we wish we could have.

In the spirit of environmentalism, Hefty® Basics™ has partnered with the Arbor Day Foundation™ on a quest to plant 10,000 trees, one for every ten new “Like”s on Facebook and we’d greatly appreciate your support by spreading the word! like them here-http://www.facebook.com/Hefty.BasicsTableware
