About Us

​

As a mum of two we've been to plenty of parties and seen first hand just how much waste is disposed of each time, especially children's parties. On average we go to about 3 parties a month, with sometimes up to 30 children each time. That means each month at least 90 plates and 90 cups are being chucked in the bin after just 10minutes use. This isn't something that sits well with me (you know, seeing as I'm eco and all that). So decided to set up this Party Kit which can be hired in an attempt to help reduce some of that waste in our local town.

​

You can hire kits to accommodate 15+ people. These kits are not limited to children's parties, we hire for baby showers, adults parties and garden BBQ's, whenever you would consider buying disposable plates.

​

So if you're planning a gathering and want to reduce your waste, your outgoings and feel good about helping the planet have a look at what we have to offer or pop in for a chat.

 

We also have options for plastic free party bag fillers.

Why Reusables

​

Disposables are killing pour planet! A party for 20 children uses an average of 3 pieces of disposable tableware per child, most of which are not recyclable as they are lined with a thin layer of plastic to prevent them soaking up moisture and are contaminated with food. (who ever washes disposable plates destined for the bin??) This means the end up in general waste either headed for landfill or incineration. In landfill a paper party plate can take 5-20 years to break down (still leaving behind micoplastics). That's a pretty long time after such a short use. Compostable plates need industrial composting (not home or garden) which still isn't guaranteed and uses a lot of transportation and resources.

​

If that wasn't enough, here are some more reasons;

1. Reduces Waste. Clearing up after a party is often a messy job. Imagine how much easier it would be to be able to pop all those cups and plates back into a box to be returned to be washed?

2. It's Easy. Book your kit. Collect your kits. Enjoy your party with an easy conscience. Drop your kit back off. Simple. 

3. Colourful. Often the more environmentally friendlier options of disposables are plain white. Our party kit can add some colour to match your theme if you have one.

4. It's Cheaper. The average cost of disposables for a party for 20 children is about £18. Saving the planet and your pennies at the same time!
