Peelable Dinner Plates

The Plate-Oh! Concept Offers 10 Uses and No Need to Wash Dishes

— March 27, 2013 — Eco
Have you ever been to a bar or restaurant in which the waitress clears the table by picking up everything in the tablecloth and throwing it all out together? It's terribly wasteful, of course, but that tidying up process is so enticingly easy.

The Plate-Oh! offers you the same convenience on a smaller scale, serving up the possibility of simply peeling off the top layer of your soiled crockery. Underneath nine of the separate sheets is a perfectly clean surface on which you can place your next course or tomorrow's supper.

Sahar Madanat Haddad's concept is primarily an alternative to paper plates. The Plate-Oh! is made of surprisingly strong and very thin biodegradable material that can be composted with the remainder of your meal to keep from fattening up landfills.
Trend Themes
1. Peelable Dinnerware - Exploring the use of durable, compostable, and easily disposable biodegradable material for dinnerware with an aim to reduce waste.
2. Multi-purpose Tableware - Creating a versatile dining experience with tableware that can be used for multiple courses or meals, offering easy clean up options.
3. Sustainable Product Design - Incorporating eco-friendly and sustainable materials in product design, such as biodegradable plastics, to offer practical and environmentally conscious solutions for everyday use.
Industry Implications
1. Food and Beverage - Exploring innovative solutions in tableware for the food and beverage industry that emphasizes sustainability and convenience.
2. Hospitality - Implementing sustainable and multi-purpose tableware in restaurants and hotels can lead to better and efficient customer service, reducing dishwashing and cleaning.
3. Eco-friendly Product Manufacturing - Developing and manufacturing biodegradable products to help reduce waste and promote sustainability can lead to the creation of a new and competitive niche market.
