- A plate is a type of
dishware, being a broad, concave but mainly flat vessel on which food is
served. They can also be used for ceremonial
value.
- Plates are commonly
made from ceramic materials such as bone china, porcelain and stoneware
as well as other materials like plastic or glass; occasionally, wood or
carved stone is used.
- Paper is a simple
material. It is essentially a mat held together by a fiber’s roughness,
and can be made from almost any fibrous material such as cotton, hemp,
flax, wood or recycled paper.
- Paper plates are
made of byproducts of the paper making process. Cellulose, oil, resin
and various wood chemicals. The designation paper plates generally
refers to all disposable plates. 57% of so called "paper plates" are
made of polystyrene, which although not biodegradeable us much less
energy to manufacture.
- Paper plates,
however, refer to a polyester or vinyl plate making process that is not
usually as exact as film-to-metal. Since paper images are opaque, a
different process must be used to create an image usable by the
press.
- The cost of plates
can vary widely from plant to plant, from less than $0.80 per square
foot to more than $2.00. The volume-weighted average
price paid by
the plants surveyed, adjusted for rebates, is $1.14 per square foot.
- The unit price for
the plates are 3.7 cents each. The annual costs for 22 cm paper plates
alone amount to $1325.52. The cost of operating a plate processor can be
as high as $90,000 per year or more.
- The paper plates are
capable of being recycled, the vast majority of consumers cannot recycle
them because there are virtually no collection facilities that accept
food-contaminated paper products for recycling.
