White plastic plates help make an event easier while still looking elegant or professional. Staples® has plenty of plastic disposable plates, cups, and tableware for any event.

Types of Material Used in White Plastic Plates
Plastics come in many different forms. Each form changes the texture, sturdiness, and ability to withstand the heat. There are few types of plastic used most commonly for disposable plates. Polystyrene is probably the most popular plastic plate. Foam polystyrene is lightweight and porous, so it absorbs heat easily. Smooth polystyrene is slightly heavier and sturdier. Melamine is the sturdiest plastic material used for plates. It can be used in the microwave or washed in the dishwasher, making the plates reusable rather than just single use.

Uses for White Plastic Plates
Consumers generally use plastic plates for convenience. Since they are disposable, the plates can be thrown away after use to avoid washing dishes. This is useful for events with lots of guests. Disposable plates make clean-up simple after a long, exhausting party. Plastic plates also have a use at home. Busy families might not have time to wash dishes regularly, so disposable plates make dinner time easy.

Sizes of White Plastic Plates
Disposable plates come in a variety of sizes. Dinner plates are usually between 8 and 10 inches to hold a full meal. Dessert plates range between 5 to 7 inches to hold cakes and pies. Sizes represent the entire diameter of the plate, including the lip or decorative edges. The size of the flat area that holds food will vary based on the edge type. Decorative edges add a little pizazz to the plate and help to keep food from sliding.

Are White Plastic Plates Available in Bulk?
Yes. Plastic plates come in a variety of package sizes. Grab a bag of 20 for a picnic or small dinner party. Packages of 50, 100 or 125 are just right for supplying plates for a single event, such as a wedding. Stock the office breakroom or cafeteria with cases containing 500 or 1,000 plates. These large, bulk packages are an excellent value.

Are White Plastic Plates Recyclable?
Most disposable plates have a recycling code of 5 or 6. Number 5 is polypropylene, which is readily accepted by recycling companies. Number 6 is polystyrene, the most common disposable plate material. Unfortunately, it is not as easy to recycle and many companies won’t accept it. Find a recycling group that will take polystyrene or reuse the plates at home.

Which Types of White Plastic Plates Are Best for the Environment?
Many types of plastic plates are designed with concern for the environment. Choose plates made with recyclable materials to cut down on landfill waste. There are also compostable plates, made with bio-plastics. Bio-plastics are made from plants and are biodegradable. Consumers can also purchase plates made from sugarcane. The process to make them uses the waste from making sugar, so it helps the environment by using pre-consumer material. It is also biodegradable and breaks down easily in landfills.
