Happy Earth Day 🌍

Here at the Party Kit Network it’s Earth Day every day.

We are not perfect, but we try our best.

Our community of change makers are working towards a future where unnecessary single-use at parties is a thing of the past and reuse is commonplace.

That future is possible. We just have to believe. 💚

More reasons to swap to reusable party tableware!

In October England will get new legislation banning more single-use plastic items. This follows existing bans on microbeads in beauty products, plastic straws, plastic-stemmed cotton buds and more.

The ban will include:
🚫 Single-use plastic plates, bowls and trays
🚫 Single-use plastic cutlery including knives, forks, spoons, sporks and chopsticks
🚫 Plastic balloon sticks
🚫 Polystyrene cups and containers

This is similar to bans already in place in Scotland, the EU and many other countries and states around the world.

Interestingly the ban in England will also include single-use items made from bioplastics. These are plastics made from an organic source like corn starch and sugar cane rather than oil.

One of the alternatives is to switch to single-use items made from a natural material like wood, paper, cardboard, bamboo and even palm leaves. These will breakdown after use much more quickly than plastics, and don't leave behind any nasty toxins. Retailers and food outlets are already starting to switch to these.

However switching to reusables wherever possible is the best way to reduce both our waste and our carbon footprint. This is why our party kits offer such a practical alternative to single-use plastics.

If you're not based in England, has your country / state already banned these items?
What do you think the impact has been?

There's more extensive blog post explaining the new ban in England over on our blog...

This Saturday will be Earth Day, which has been celebrated on April the 22nd since 1970. Its purpose is to inspire everyone to environmental action, whether it be reducing your plastic waste, planting trees, reducing electricity usage or a multitude of other small or large actions to improve the health of our planet.
One small way you can help is to hire a reusable party kit to reduce your plastic consumption. It includes everything you need for your kids party table, from bowls and cutlery to serving plates and jugs 🍽️🍶🥣🥳. Not only will it reduce the need for disposable items, but it could be cheaper too!

How does it work?

1. Choose which kit you'd like to borrow. Do you just need plates, cups and cutlery? Or do you need the full tableware set?

2. Collect your party kit the day before your event, and check you have everything you need.

3. Party time! 🎊🎉 Enjoy the guilt free pleasure of hosting a party with no waste!

4. Wash up the kit, or leave dirty for an extra charge.

5. Return up to 2 days after your event.

6. Feel great about yourself! You've helped the environment by avoiding disposables and had a great party at the same time!
