What should you look out for when buying sustainable tableware?
What is sustainable tableware anyway? Is ceramic ecological? And which tableware stays beautiful? These are all questions we answer in this blog. With sustainable tableware, you need to pay attention to the quality of the tableware for a long lifespan but also so it stays beautiful. You can read more about this in our previous blog on the differences in quality of crockery. But the sustainability of a tableware service involves more, of course. Besides being produced in a fair way, being functional for daily use and having a beautiful design, our tableware is also produced in a sustainable way. So read on quickly and find out more! ↓♡
Are (our) ceramics ecological?
Sustainable business is important to us, especially in the times we live in today. We have therefore selected our supplier partly on sustainability. As a sustainable company, they follow sustainable developments and largely use sustainable materials. These include non-polluting raw, natural local raw materials and recycled materials such as clay, water and glaze. Thus, our ceramics are ecological and the footprint is kept as low as possible. 🦶 The glaze used to finish the tableware is food-safe and free of chemicals and polymers.
As such, the tableware complies with European and US food product authority requirements. Even the cardboard gift boxes are made of environmentally friendly recycled polymer-free material. Moreover, the shapes of the tableware are made in such a way that the different products can be combined well with each other. It is also fun to mix and match different collections. This way, you can put together a varied dinner service that can be enjoyed by generation after generation!
Which durable tableware stays beautiful?
As explained earlier, the tableware we sell is made of pure stoneware: this is a very high-quality ceramic that is fired twice at an extremely high temperature and then finished with a glaze. This makes the tableware dishwasher, microwave, freezer and oven (up to 200 degrees) resistant. ♨️ Thus, our tableware itself also enjoys a long lifespan and stays beautiful. Even in daily use and in the long term.
How is sustainability applied at UNRO?
Besides our supplier's production and the quality of our products, we also try to apply sustainability as much as possible in our webshop. For example, our cardboard shipping boxes, flyers, gift cards and cardboard padding are FSC certified. We also reuse good boxes whenever possible and the air cushions are made of recycled plastic which can then be recycled again. ♻️
Thus, we not only consider beautiful and functional design and honest craft but also sustainability within our company and that of our supplier. Therefore, you can buy our tableware with confidence:
UNRO, Portuguese tableware that will make you happy!
