Summertime is the best time to head into the great outdoors to enjoy the sunlight and summer fun. But make sure you and your family are also keeping Mother Nature beautiful.

Picnics and barbecues outdoors can produce a lot of trash which contribute to carbon dioxide in the environment. However, by packing reusable tableware from Re-Play and not opting for single-use, your picnic or barbecue can have a positive impact on your community and the environment.

What Makes The Recycled Kids Tableware Of Re-Play So Amazing?

A lot of plastic tableware and feedingware for children contain toxic phthalates and Bisphenol-A (BPA), which leach out more quickly in the heat. Re-play products are safer, greener, and made from recycled non-leaching plastic.

This tableware for children is durable and sturdy. They can take a beating from your kids. They can stand on them or throw them around, and you'll never see a mark on them. The company being eco-friendly, only use petrochemical and virgin plastics.

They are made from milk jugs and other curbside collected HPDE plastic. It may sound a bit dirty for dinnertime, but don't worry they sanitised the recycled plastic utlising FDA-approved processes to eliminate anything that the plastic has absorbed which results in food-grade materials. The company also uses product packaging that's friendly to the environment as it’s made from recycled paperboard.

Aside from being Mother Nature's friend, the tableware is kid-friendly, as well. Your children will love everything from the wide array of vibrant colours to choose from when grabbing a fork or spoon to the divided plates that keep their potatoes separate from their peas. It’s also perfect for birthday parties!

The best thing about these products is they are dishwasher-safe. Once your little ones are ready to use the same dishes as you, you can toss them in the recycling bin instead of the trash can.

What Makes Re-Play Products Safe For My Kids?

As mentioned, the company employs HDPE plastic that is recycled, which is essentially the plastic used for milk jugs. HDPE does not contain chemicals which are found in other types of plastics. This means that products made from it are:

• BPA-free
• BPS-free
• PVC-free
• Phthalates-free
• Melamine-free

Every product from the brand saves a particular number of milk jugs getting thrown out in landfills. So by buying a set of Feeding Utensils, an Eco-divider Kids Plate, and Sippy Cup, you're sparing the environment of seven milk jugs ending up in the landfill.
