What Is Non-Toxic Dinnerware?

Non toxic dishware is precisely what it sounds like: plates and dishes designed with user health in mind. That means no toxic “forever chemicals” like non stick perfluorooctanoic acid (PFAOs)—we even verify that incredibly common toxic substances are not used in the creation of our chemical free dinnerware, like formaldehyde and plastics.
Another bad actor is the heavy metal lead, which is used in certain glazes, however our curated collection of sustainable dining ware includes quality crafted modern porcelain, ceramic, glass, stoneware, and other nontoxic dinnerware materials. Here you’ll find durable, eco friendly dishware in a number of colors and themes to match a variety of tabletop styles free of lead and cadmium.

What Are the Benefits of Non Toxic Dishes & Organic Dinnerware?

There are plenty of incentives for going nontoxic, whether you’re looking for eco friendly dishes, repurposed & recycled dinnerware, or safe dishware in general. These materials touch your food, and in even the most lead safe dishes, that means harmful chemicals can still leach into whatever you’re eating. Nobody wants that! To continue to provide alternatives for this growing market, our focus is on making sure that our shop offers new and trending safe dish sets for all sorts of styles and preferences.

Tips for Choosing Your Own Eco Friendly Dinnerware

First, most modern sustainable dinnerware is free of lead , but you should still verify with the manufacturer that they use lead- and cadmium-free glazes. Choosing safe dinnerware often means getting your hands dirty in terms of researching what goes into the products you’re buying. Most companies that make non toxic tableware will provide this information upfront; all you need to do is ask about their manufacturing process. If an organization tries to deflect questions or refuses to show such information, it might be time to look elsewhere for sustainable dishes.

What to Avoid When Buying Non Toxic Dinnerware

When you’re looking for new nontoxic dishes—whether it’s at a brick-and-mortar store or online—always verify that you’re working with a reputable company. If you see anything that says a piece of tableware is decorative, not for food use, or vague, it’s safe to assume it’s not nontoxic dinnerware. If you’re wondering what dishes are lead free, look no further than the people who make them. We always ask our manufacturers and will list it in our product descriptions.

If you ask a company and they aren’t willing to share this information, then you should consider shopping somewhere else for healthy, lead free organic dishes.

Serving Tips for Organic Eating

When you’re preparing to host a meal, you’ll need a variety of types of eco friendly tableware for the occasion. Whether you’re building a serve-yourself buffet at a party for ten or fixing a tray of tasty snacks for a kid’s birthday party, it’s vital to plan your gathering with an eye for what you plan to serve and how you want to serve it—that is a key step in deciding what types of non-toxic dinnerware to buy and prep in your kitchen.

Repurposed and recycled dishes, non toxic lead free dinnerware, and even cute natural disposable options crafted from plant based materials are wonderful sustainable options to consider.

A few fun options we’ve seen recently are gluten free disposable bowls made from wheat straw fiber, reusable eco-friendly bamboo dishware, biobased plasticware, and even disposable dinnerware made from compostable and biodegradable palm leaves for an elegant organic look.

Consider your guests.

Your guests trust you to serve them a healthy meal. When you’re hosting a get together, your primary focus should always be on that—your guests and their needs. It shows you really care when you plan ahead to accommodate dietary restrictions.

Say, for example, that a friend you invite to a dinner party has a nut allergy. Don’t wait till the last minute to find healthy, mindful alternatives, and always remember to avoid intermingling ingredients. If someone you know has this type of allergy, serve alternatives to nuts, or better yet, keep nuts out of the meal altogether to avoid cross-contamination. Being a good host means making sure everyone has something to enjoy :)

Keep your shapes similar.

What is organic shaped dinnerware? Think shapes you'd find in nature, such as round natural dinnerware or recycled dinnerware that was manufactured into a shell shape. This can refer to plates, bowls, etc. Be sure to consider the shape when you’re buying sustainable dish sets. Continuity can elevate your presentation beyond the typical flat plates and round bowls. Organic shapes like leaves are especially eye catching. Just some factors to keep in mind when you start shopping for non-toxic dinnerware.

Non toxic dishes made in USA.

You might be wondering if it matters where your lead-free dishware comes from. If it’s organic, sustainable, nontoxic, and so on, it shouldn’t matter where it was made, right? Well, yes and no. Different countries have different laws regulating manufacturing, so when you buy from certain countries, it can sometimes be tricky to figure out exactly what substances went into your plates and dishes.
