BioCompostable Dishes, Recycling and Compost Print

biodegradables.jpgIt was our intention over the three days to create as little waste as possible.  Shambhala always has recycling and compost set up on site.  For the family meals and BBQ the night before the wedding we used Biocompostables from World Centric.  World Centric is a non-profit organization working to reduce environmental degradation and economic injustice through education, community networks and sustainable enterprises.  All of the plates were made of sugar cane fiber (bagasse) which is made from the waste fiber left after juice extraction and biodegrades in 30-90 days.  Our drinking cups were made from corn starch which is a renewable substitute to plastic and biodegrades in 90-365 days.
