100% RECYCLABLE
What's the most sustainable and eco-friendly material to make disposable plates?
The answer: PET plastic.
Most companies protect their bottom line before mother nature. Not us. Click below to learn why we use PET.

VS.
While these plates are cheap, they are some of the worst for the environment. This foam can not be recycled in any of our current centers whatsoever. Knives also shred through it.
Labeled #1 for a reason. This plastic is 100% recyclable, durable,and considered especially safe for food.
Our features add value to your party. Our material brings value to the earth. Lets compare Flip Top Plates to the "competition".

Most of the "plastic" plates on the shelf are made of Polystyrene (same stuff as Styrofoam). Most recycling plants refuse and can't recycle this. Avoid PS-plastic #6!

Paper plates with designs are usually covered with polystyrene resin. They can't be composted OR recycled. The "eco- friendly" advertised paper plates also use "glue" to hold together the paper pulp, which is not so "tummy-friendly" (cross contamination with your food is cancerous).
Plant based PLA's dont actually break down as advertised. They need special conditions and temps of 140F before they can. Unfortunately it's not a worldwide sustainable solution and it's inn-ability to recycle does not support a circular economy the way #1 PET can.

THE
TECHNOLOY
USING PATENTED TECHNOLOGY
Society adapts to new ideas slowly.
Earth however is running out of time.
Our challenge was to reinvent the plate...
Without people even noticing.
After dozens of design iterations and years of R&D, our team has created a universal, interlocking, plate, that could be mass produced using the same manufacturing process that exists today. No need to retrofit factories. The plates don't require any specific type of material, so they can advance with the times.
For these reasons, FLIP TOP PLATES can make a positive impact on the world RIGHT NOW.

So many uses!
The plates can be used to store food, cover food from pesky bugs and birds, used as a handy storage for pencils or other craft items, great for large crowded events so nobody will sneeze or spill drinks when passing by, piece of mind if you need to leave your food unattended while taking a relief break, saves on storage space since tops and bottoms are in same stack, great to send out and use for disaster relief situations.
The possibilities are limitless we even used one to make rain cover for the bird feeder.
Watch how easy it is to use
Once locked, it its secured. This lock feature lets you open them with ease, no worrying about contents jumping out at you.
