Product Review: Mika Pak https://www.thecreativekitchen.com/product-review-mika-pak/ https://www.thecreativekitchen.com/product-review-mika-pak/#respond Mon, 18 Aug 2014 09:30:26 +0000 http://www.thecreativekitchen.com/?p=7287 a mouthful from the creative kitchen logo

 At The Creative Kitchen, we try to use Earth-friendly, sustainable products whenever possible. That is why we were so excited when we came across Mika Pak, a company dedicated to manufacturing products created from renewable resources! Their products, including plates, utensils, containers, and cups, are plant-based – making them biodegradable and compostable. Mika Pak’s products are not only sustainable, but stylish too! We love the natural look of their Palm Leaf Plates (made from fallen palm leaves), the bright colors of their PLA Bio-Plastic Utensils (made from a sugar-based, plastic-free material), and the simplicity of their Bagasse Bowls (made from crushed sugar cane fibers). These environmentally friendly products are sturdy enough to handle your heaviest foods and natural enough to compost in 120 days! 

 

From the Eyes of a Parent:Mika Pak PLA Utensils 19-Aug-14

These products are great to keep on hand. I love to use them at big events like birthday parties or family dinners when I know a lot of dishes and utensils will be used. Knowing that Mika Pak’s products are eco-friendly and made from sustainable resources makes me feel better about using disposable products, since these products will have less of a negative impact of the Earth.
