World Centric® 16 oz NoTree® paper bowls are made from unbleached bamboo paper, an annually renewable resource. Unlike traditional paper bowls that are made from trees with a petroleum plastic lining, these bowls require no trees to be cut down in order to make them, plus they have a bio-lining made from plants. Great for delis, grocerants and restaurants serving takeout, these bowls work for hot or cold foods and show a commitment to environmental responsibility. These disposable bowls contain no wax or plastic lining, and are freezer safe. They are certified compostable in a commercial facility, which may not exist in your area.
