We bought some eco "bamboo" plates for our toddler because he keeps breaking ceramic plates. But they just mix some bamboo fibres into the plastic. It does feel a bit nicer to touch than normal plastic, but I'm not sure how it is more eco-friendly. It's still plastic that's going to end up in a dump.

(That being said, I don't worry too much about the material of something that gets years of use)

You can use shellac-finished wooden plates and bowls. Biodegradable, natural, doesn’t break, lightweight, carbon-neutral material.

Does my head in seeing people put eco plant based labels on disposable ldpe packaging.

It’s still the same plastic even if you change the feedstock.
