Going Green - PlantSwitch

 For the environmentally and health-conscious parent, PlantSwitch, the global leader in plant-based compostable plastic that does no harm to our bodies or the environment, has recently dropped their Premium Napkin Rolls and Birthday Napkin Rolls for children’s celebrations.  

PlantSwitch plant-based plastic utensils look, feel, bend and perform identically to traditional plastic, without any harmful microplastics. 

Available Children’s Birthday PlantSwitch napkin roll set counts: 

• 12-Count Birthday (banded napkin, fork, spoon)
• 24 Count Birthday ((banded napkin, fork, spoon)

About PlantSwitch

According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), microplastics can be found everywhere in the environment including the air we breathe, the food we eat, and the water we drink.

Microplastics are fragments of plastic that are the size of a grain of rice. Smaller fragments then break away from larger pieces from products like those commonly used at celebrations; like utensils, plates, bowls and straws.

According to PlantSwitch co-founder and CEO, Dillon Baxter, “Our mission is to replace all petroleum-based single-use plastic with plants. We upcycle agricultural residues, such as rice hulls and wheat straw into a plant-based resin that we are using to make nearly all types of plastic products.”

PlantSwitch works with local farms to turn agricultural residues into compostable pellets. That bioplastic resin is then used to make everything from eating utensils, plates, containers, packaging, toothbrushes, coffee pods and other products.

We would love to have PlantSwitch Birthday Napkin Rolls included in any product roundups you are putting together. PlantSwitch CEO, Dillon Baxter, is also available for interviews on stories about keeping kids safe from harmful microplastics, or stories on helpful tips for environmentally and health-conscious parents.
