Kitting out your eco picnic set

If you&#;re looking to impress a date, or just want to get outside to enjoy nature with family or friends, a picnic is the perfect way to do it. But why compromise on your ethics in the process?

Instead of packing the usual plastic utensils, stick with your convictions and switch out a picnic full of polymers for a more environmentally friendly hamper. Below are some ideas for quick changes you can make for a plastic-free picnic set.

Eco picnic necessities

Rustic picnic plates

The natural aesthetic of Areca palm leaf plates fits seamlessly with any outdoor picnic spot. But they don&#;t just look natural; palm leaf plates are 100% natural.

Made from dried leaves shed from Areca palm trees, the only processing required to turn them into tableware is washing, drying and hot pressing. No chemicals are used; no contaminants are created.

Palm plates are lightweight and don&#;t require washing before use. This means you can simply swap out your existing crockery or paper plates and head out the door. Sturdy enough to be wiped clean and reused, they can go back in your set for another time.

When you can no longer use them as plates, you can use them as compost. It takes 2&#;3 months for them to fully decompose in a home composter.

Convenient compostable cutlery

Cutlery can be the heaviest part of any picnic set. Unfortunately, putting dirty knives and forks back into your basket or trying to wash them clean can make for a stressful end to a relaxing picnic. However, disposable cutlery choices has traditionally meant sacrificing eco-friendly choices for convenience.

Compostable cutlery &#; like birchwood knives, forks and spoons &#; changes the need for compromise. Birchwood grows faster than most trees, making it one of the most sustainable forms of wood. Completely compostable at the end of its life, the only footprint you&#;ll leave is the flattened grass under your picnic blanket.

Compostable multipurpose bowls

For a modern twist on traditional picnic fare, try serving strawberries and cream in deep palm leaf bowls. The untreated aesthetic of palm leaf bowls suits eating outdoors and is a way of informing those sharing your picnic about plastic alternatives.

They are also durable and impermeable, so don&#;t feel like you need to hold back on the cream.

For more causal picnics, you could use them for serving potato salads, crisps, and snacks. You could even bring smaller dipping bowls if you&#;re serving different sauces.

Biodegradable serving platters

Perfect for showcasing the spread you brought, biodegradable palm leaf serving platters are useful for your next eco picnic. You can impress with a sumptuous charcuterie board or refresh your dining companions with a colourful fresh fruit platter, pre-laid out and wrapped in beeswax wraps or transported in reusable containers and plated on arrival.

Large compostable bowls

Large salad bowls may seem like a luxury item for ordinary picnic gear, but that doesn&#;t have to be a bad thing. Despite their size, palm leaf bowls are still lightweight and versatile

You could use them for a vibrant, leafy salad or lush fruit salad that everyone can serve themselves from. If you bring one along for larger gatherings, it could even be put to good use as a punch bowl. That will really get the summery vibe flowing!

Sustainable straws

Biodegradable disposable straws

Effortless and chic, wheat straws can be used when serving any kind of beverage. Once done, they can be fully composted after use.

Repurposed from the by-product of wheat harvests, wheat straws are not ordinary single-use items. They look elegant in picnic glasses and don&#;t disintegrate like paper straws, making them both sophisticated in appearance and very practical in the moment.

Reusable bamboo straws

Make a delicious smoothie or luxurious milkshake and bring it along in a reusable bottle in your picnic hamper. For a finishing touch, pop a reusable bamboo straw into the cup &#; they&#;re wide and durable enough to tackle the thickest of milkshakes. Equipped with a cleaning brush, they can become a staple of your eco picnic supplies.

Bamboo is one of the most sustainable manufacturing materials as it can be replenished quickly, so large areas aren&#;t cleared for growing. It&#;s is also naturally anti-microbial, which adds a layer of protection and reusability.

Eco picnic equipment

A deluxe picnic set can be made entirely of sustainable and ethical products &#; so it is possible to avoid adding to the &#;plastic problem&#;. In addition, why not choose an eco-friendly picnic blanket made of responsibly sourced cotton or bamboo, instead of plastic-based polymers like polyester and acrylic?

With so many options, it&#;s becoming easier to live and work in an eco-friendly manner. At FOOGO green, we&#;ve made it our mission to help environmentally conscious and discerning shoppers find new ways to achieve this.

This summer has been brutally hot in many parts of the world, but it has to cool down eventually. Ever the optimists, we&#;re stocking up on eco-friendly picnic supplies now. That way, when we do get a pocket of perfect weather, we&#;re prepared to hit the park for a breezy outdoor lunch or to find a shady spot for an afternoon of wine and cheese.

We recognize that &#;eco-friendly&#; means different things to different people, so we&#;ve sourced some of the most stylish versions of reusable, reused, and compostable picnic supplies below. And because &#;summery things&#; hit the shelves in the spring, they often go on sale in July and August to make room for all things pumpkin spice, so a handful of our picks are discounted for the season.

Sustainable lightweight dishes

While we love modern melamine plates for outdoor dining, dishes made from bamboo and wheat straw are a more sustainable option. Like melamine, these materials are lightweight and dishwasher-safe. They&#;re a lot nicer than paper plates too.

Travel flatware sets

Unless you&#;re trying to work your way through a million packets of unsolicited plastic utensils that piled up after two years of takeout, consider a reusable travel set for picnicking. These cute sets come with their own cases, which means your flatware stays clean until you&#;re ready to eat&#;then the case contains the mess when you&#;re done.

Sustainable cloth napkins

Yes, paper products will eventually break down on their own, but reusable cloth napkins look better, feel better, absorb better, and they&#;re less likely to be picked up and carried away in a light breeze. You can use them to swat away those pesky flies too.

Eco-friendly portable drinkware

Look, if you want to brown bag a tall boy for your picnic in the park, we&#;re not here to judge. But just in case you want something slightly more refined, consider one of these eco-friendly drinkware options. Compostable cups are the most lightweight, space-saving solution while insulated tumblers will help keep your beverage cool. You can even pour an entire bottle of wine into a reusable insulated container for temperature-controlled, leak-free transport.

Recycled picnic blankets

Nature is nice and all, but there&#;s nothing pleasant about trying to eat while sitting on a bed of ants, twigs, and dirt (and don&#;t even get us started on sand). Create a barrier between your picnic and the bare earth with a water-repellent outdoor blanket made from recycled materials.

Sustainable food storage

Keep your load light by using food storage containers to transport food&#;and then use them as bowls. Or enjoy your meal from a sustainably made bento box.

Eco-friendly picnic baskets and cooler bags

Finally, you&#;ll need a way to tote all of your food and eco-friendly picnic supplies from your kitchen to the perfect patch of grass (or sand, if you must). An insulated cooler bag made from recycled materials will help keep perishables colder longer, but a picnic basket made from sustainable materials is certainly the more stylish option. For an even more environmentally friendly tote, consider a vintage picnic basket.
