When most people hear “disposable plates,” they think of flimsy paper that collapses under a burger or cheap plastic that cracks and pollutes. Not exactly what you’d expect to see at a beautiful bridal shower or upscale backyard gathering.
But at Pickytarian, we’re changing that perception entirely.
Our customers constantly tell us:
“These disposable party plates are so good, they should be sold at Costco!”
So what makes our compostable plates worthy of premium retailer shelves?
You’ve experienced it before – trying to cut a piece of chicken or serve potato salad on a plate that immediately folds in half. Not with Pickytarian party plates.
Our products are crafted from bamboo and sugarcane pulp – naturally sturdy materials that are both renewable and heat-resistant. Whether you’re serving barbecue ribs, lasagna, or a full wedding entrée, our plates maintain their integrity throughout the meal.
Pickytarian’s plates are microwave-safe, leak-resistant, cut-resistant, and can handle hot foods without warping.
Most disposable plates are visual afterthoughts – plain white circles that scream “I didn’t try very hard.”
Pickytarian plates come in elegant neutral tones with subtle textures and sophisticated shapes that complement your event styling. We design with aesthetics in mind, creating products that blend beautifully with fresh flowers, cloth napkins, and thoughtful decor.
Perfect for:
Your guests will genuinely ask, “Wait, these are disposable?”
Many “eco” products make environmental claims that don’t hold up to scrutiny. They contain hidden plastics, chemical binders, or PFAS that prevent proper breakdown.
Our eco-friendly plates are 100% compostable. After your event, they can return to the earth in a commercial composting facility.
While Costco is known for value and quality in bulk, not every host wants to store 500 plates in their pantry.
Pickytarian offers perfectly sized packs (25–75 pieces) so you can shop smart, get premium quality, and not waste storage space or materials.
We maintain accessible pricing while donating 5% of all sales to fight hunger and homelessness. That’s value with purpose.
Wen you choose Pickytarian, you’re not just buying eco-friendly plates, cutlery, and napkins – you’re helping fight hunger and homelessness. Unlike many companies that donate a percentage of profits (which is often non-existent), we donate 5% of sales to organizations addressing food and shelter insecurity in various communities.
“Best plates, cutlery, and napkins – I was so glad to receive the order of plates, cutlery, and napkins in preparation for our son’s graduation party. We are pleased to leave no waste behind here in our efforts to reduce our carbon footprint. And your products are beautiful!” – Amy White
“These are the Beyonce of plates – I am an event planner and feel confident in saying I have tried nearly every kind of compostable plate on the market. These are the Beyonce of plates. All the other brands fail in at least half of what these plates provide – They don’t fall apart after multiple uses, they don’t leave leaky stains when set down, they don’t have an exorbitant price tag (I have paid 85 cents a plate before), the shape makes them ergonomically easy to carry around, they don’t look like a child paper making project, purchasing them supports a wonderful small business, 5% of sales fight hunger and homelessness AND they come in different colors! You just can’t get all those boxes checked anywhere else.” – Cara Stooksberry
“Excellent product, Excellent service – I ordered this for a family birthday party. I love everything about the set. It was perfect for us. Using bamboo that is compostable and NOT plastic is where I want my dollars to go. Way to help save Mother Earth, way to go Pickytarian! The icing on the cake is that it’s a female POC business, I’m such a fan!
The discount code had a glitch, it was fixed immediately upon my reaching out. I will definitely order again!” – Leslie Godbold
