Biodegradable BBQ

Date: March 31, 2008 | Category: Events, Food & Drink, Lifestyle, Travel

Barbecue season is upon us, though the weather is still somewhat unpredictable - we made our first attempt on Saturday and ended up shivering between bites of wild salmon. Of course, it is important to think about what's going on the grill and the grilling process itself, click here to find out more, but the disposables you're toting to the park, beach or wherever you may be firing up are just as important. We always serve on china when we grill at home but I understand that it's not practical to bring your own gear to a tailgate party or a picnic, but that doesn't mean you should forgo your commitment to the environment. With biodegradable plates, cups and utensils (and even BioBags), you can collect partygoers' trash (no need to separate leftovers from foodware) and take them home as fodder for your compost bin. Don't compost or have a Green Bin Program available in your city? This line of clean compostables from Branch can alternatively be recycled. Using bagasse (a plentiful byproduct from the sugar refining process), potato starch and vegetable oil, your BBQ can be just as flavorful as ever and virtually waste free.
