Biodegradable Food Service Products

I came across this site today that sells biodegradable and fully compost able food service products. This in my opinion is great and is needed. It will prevent a lot of pollution and waste if a lot of food service establishments would use their products or similar products.

Biodegradable replacement for those foam serving trays? Bio-Cane is their solution.
"Bio Cane™ products are 100% Bio Based made from annual renewable resources: sugarcane.
For prepared meals, use Bio Cane™ trays & bowls in conjunction with Bio Wrap™ heat seal-able films for a 100% Bio Based package that is microwave able and cost effective. Heat stable to over 410° F, allowing reheating in a microwave. Paper, GMO and Petroleum free containers, bowls & plates. Meets ASTM Standard for composting."

Their Bio MCJ is pretty cool also.
"Bio MCJ is made from Bamboo and pressed into cups, cutlery, plates and other various food and beverage containers. Bio MCJ is microwavable and dishwasher safe for reuse. Bio MCJ and our cellulose film, currently marketed as Bio Coffee Bags™, can be combined for a 100% bio-based prepared meal tray and lid. Both Bio MCJ trays and our cellulose films can go directly into the microwave. Bio MCJ is an excellent, cost effective replacement for ceramic, glass and melamine reusable dishware. Bio MCJ ware has a rich stoneware-like appearance. When used in place of some types of ceramic tableware, potential lead poisoning concerns are eliminated."

Biodegradable replacement for those Styrofoam coffee cups? Earth Cups are the replacement.
"Earth Cup™ is made from renewable resources, is 100% compost able and petroleum free, all which make this cup very earth friendly. Most hot cups are coated with Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE), a petrochemical plastic. LDPE is non-renewable and non-compostable, making the only methods of disposal; litter, land fills or incineration. Earth Cup™ is coated with earth friendly bio based material that uses less energy and significantly less greenhouse gas footprint. Earth Cup™ meets the ASTM 6400 composting standard and is acceptable at over 45 composting facilities in North America. Earth Cup™ can be coated one side for hot cups and two sided for cold beverages. Earth Cup™ hot cups are suitable for hot coffee, tea and other hot beverages. Earth Cup™ 9 oz water cups are coated on both sides and are suitable for water, soda and other chilled beverages."

Tater Ware are starch based products that include biodegradable replacements for Styrofoam plates, plastic utensils and plastic cup lids.
"Tater Ware™ products are made with a GMO free bio based starch and 100% biodegradable. Heat stable to over 300 f Tater Ware is moisture resistant and suitable for both hot and cold beverages. Tater Ware is microwarmable allowing products to be reheated in a microwave. Tater Ware meets ASTM (American Standard Test Measurement) and FTC (Federal Trade Commission) for biodegradable products.
