These pots, dishes and trays are so neat! I know the last web log post was about our amazing biodegradable pots, dishes, trays and pet bowls, but I want to go a little more in depth. Take a little closer look at exactly what it means to have something be “landfill-neutral”. If you continue to visit this website, and stay current on the web logging provided here, by your #1 favorite, all-time, and far-and-away tallest Bamboo Buddy, you will (with my help) become an expert in the evils of plastics, how we’ve been harmed by them in the past, and what we can do to halt/reverse it’s reign of terror over these United States on it’s quest for world domination.

Landfill-neutral is a label assigned to products that, once used and discarded, take up no space and create zero toxic or greenhouse gasses during their decomposition. What does that mean? These pots are as safe to throw away as a piece of paper. Although you should recycle paper… Yeah, don’t throw away paper, if you can help it. Recycling is just as easy as throwing it away.

Have you seen ‘The Graduate’? Where that guy tells Dustin Hoffman that the future is in plastics, m’boy? Well here’s to you Mrs. Robinson: we’re going to make that fella eat his words. Because if we keep cranking out plastics, pretty soon we’ll drown in ‘em. And I know nobody wants that!

When you say something bad about someone or something, that’s slander. When you write it, it’s libel. And we’ve got our cross-hairs on PLASTICS, with intent to thoroughly defame. Check this out.

“When plastics are buried in a landfill, they occupy 25 percent of all landfill space.”

“The world’s annual consumption of plastic materials has increased from around 5 million tonnes in the 1950s to nearly 100 million tonnes today.”

Yeah, I know the brits spell funny… “tonnes”… Ha! They invented English, and they don’t even know how to spell it!!! But I digress. We’re using all this additional plastic, and we’re not being any smarter about the way we’re producing it. Or getting rid of it. The problem with plastic is that it does not biodegrade.

We’ve found a solution. At least for common household applications traditionally assigned to plastic like garden pots, pet bowls and picnic dishes. FiberWare is composed of bamboo fiber and rice-husks–all components are FDA approved! You could eat it!!!

The upshot? These things are 100% landfill-neutral. 100% biodegradable. You’ve got to see it to believe it. These things take between two and three years to begin their decomposition. It’s after two or three years that traditional plastic items of the same utility begin to look shabby, cracked, and weather-beaten. Fiberware retires itself from service as soon as it’s no longer effective. Check out these incredible product sheets to learn more about this amazing new development in plastic-replacement technology.
