The creators of these recycled potato chip bag coasters wrap used, and cleaned, potato chip wrappers around dried grasses. They're able to create two looks - the inside of the wrapper makes elegant silver coasters, while the outside is colorful and fun. Choose from either one. Includes six coasters and a carrier made out of the same material.
Created out of discarded potato chip wrappers Fairly traded out of Nepal As the importers of these products, the SPIRAL Foundation has operations in Vietnam and Nepal, and is inspired by the principle of "aid from within the country." Currently, 500 Vietnamese and Nepalese are employed with fair wages based on an hourly rate. The proceeds that are generated by producing these handicrafts go back into the community to finance humanitarian aid projects that include primary health care, medical, and educational projects.
Thanks to jollygreengirl.org for tipping us off to disposable cutlery that won't stick around for a millenia. Made from corn and potato starch and cassava starch 'vegware' has knives, forks, spoons, plates and just about everything else you need for a meal on the go.
They even have compost-able cellophane bags made from a sustainable source of wood pulp. Wow that's cool! (They're located in the UK but I'm sure something closer to home will pop up eventually.)
