Restaurant
Converts To Biodegradable Utensils, Cups, Plates &
Take-out Containers
In its continuing effort to go "green,"

biodegradable plates, cups, utensils and take-out
containers. The supplies are produced from naturally

break down completely in a compost pile or totally
biodegrade in a landfill. Read
