Environmentally Friendly Carlisle EcoMade Dinnerware & Displayware


These Carlisle EcoMade™ restaurant tableware lines are made with the next generation in mind. While similar melamine plates may sit in landfills for decades, this colorful selection of dinnerware and displayware is completely compostable. Within just three months of being put into the waste stream in a compostable environment, they begin to break down into non-harmful components.
Carlisle Foodservice is dedicated to decreasing restaurant owners’ use of harmful products and has set itself ahead of the curve by producing the most environmentally friendly melamine products on the market today. In addition to being compostable, they're made with recycled plastics and sustainable natural resources, keeping material out of the waste stream by using them in their quality products.
"Our goal is to go beyond conservation to become an important contributor to the restorative process for our environment," says Carlisle Foodservice Products President David Shannon. Watch the video below for a practical demonstration of how eco-friendly these melamine dishes are.
EcoMade products are safe for temperatures up to 212 degrees F, meaning they can be safely used in warmers and rethermalizers. They are also NSF certified, meeting all the rigorous standards for use in foodservice. This line of dinnerware is perfect for any restaurant interested in going green.
