Not only is it space saving (great for limited space), but it is robust and contains the key essentials for eating, serving, saving and transporting food when you are on the go. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy is bioplastic better for the environment? \u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you’d rather have outdoor tableware that comes as separate pieces instead of a set, take a look at our other camping tableware ranges here.  Why is bioplastic better for the environment than traditional plastic? \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is no denying it, plastic is a fantastic material in terms of its functionality, which is why it is used for so many things. There is a place for plastics and often they are the best, most practical materials. The main issue is virgin plastics which are a BIG contributor to climate change which has meant some plastic producers have looked to new, more sustainable raw materials to create bioplastics. Enter sugarcane! Sugarcane has emerged as an important ingredient to substitute for petroleum in the production of plastics. Bioplastics made of sugarcane have the same benefits as ‘normal’ petroleum-based plastics but are sustainable. In fact, each metric ton of bioplastic made from sugar cane produced avoids the emission of 2 to 2.5 metric tons of carbon dioxide on a lifecycle basis. Here are a few reasons why bioplastic is an eco-friendlier option to traditional plastic: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSugarcane absorbs CO2 – when sugarcane grows, just like all other plants and trees, it absorbs CO2 from the atmosphere.  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo fossil fuels required - Oil-based plastics (the ‘traditional’ plastics) require oil (surprise, surprise) to be made. To get this oil, it needs to be mined for. Not only is the process of drilling and mining carbon intensive but when we extract the oil, carbon is also released from the Earth’s soil into the air. That’s all before we’ve even used the energy needed to turn the oil into plastic which (spoiler alert) is also a carbon inducive process. An increase in CO2 in the atmosphere, as we well know, is what drives climate change. The very nature of bioplastics is to use sustainable materials rather than relying on oil.  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCreated using renewable energy – sugarcane bioplastics are particularly eco-friendly. During the processing of sugarcane, a waste product known as bagasse is also produced. Bagasse is used to generate electricity which powers the ethanol production process. This, again, removes a carbon-inducive process.  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSugarcane is sustainable – sugarcane is a very resilient crop which means it can be grown in areas of poor arable land that would otherwise be wasted and unused. This means land clearing isn’t needed to grow the sugarcane. Once the sugarcane has been harvested, it can simply be replanted which means it is 100% renewable. Sugarcane is even beneficial to the soil it is grown in, helping it to recover and replenish. Win, win! \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eIs bioplastic biodegradable? \u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, bioplastic isn’t biodegradable. It can however be recycled and is processed within normal recycling facilities. This means you can pop the set into your normal plastic recycling bins. However, this bioplastic picnic set will last you a long, long time though so don’t worry about thinking about that for now.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chimney Sheep","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46716500836386,"sku":"ksy1788255524892","price":10.22,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0799\/5260\/9314\/files\/20-piece-modular-sugarcane-plastic-picnic-set_1.jpg?v=1788255529"},{"product_id":"enamel-espresso-cup-classic-set","title":"Enamel Espresso Cup Classic Set","description":"\u003ch4\u003eWhy are enamel espresso cups useful as outdoor tableware? \u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dinky little espresso cup is the perfect mug for a morning shot of coffee or as a kid’s mini camping mug.

It is a practical size and has pockets galore which make it perfect for carrying all the extra ‘bits and bobs’ we take with us on a family day out. Plus the fabric used to create it has been made with three and a half plastic bottles. Lightweight, durable and water-resistant, it can carry all the kids ‘stuff’ like our den kits, buckets, spades and flyers. Or if you are out on a picnic day, have packed your cool bag but want a bag for all non-refrigerated items, tableware and a picnic rug then this recycled plastic holdall is for you! It would also be great as an overnight bag or nappy bag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce the bag is empty, it folds away neatly for easy storage and transportation.

Most waterproof holdalls will be made of virgin plastics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy using recycled plastics, it means that no new plastic has been created to make this bag. We are all pretty well versed on why the creation of new plastic is bad – most plastic is made from chemicals that come from the production of fossil fuels and once it has been used, then disposed of, it sticks around in the environment for ages, threatening wildlife and spreading toxins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, plastic is a useful material in lots of contexts due to its versatility and durability. Sometimes, non-plastic alternatives just don’t do the trick. So instead of saying a big fat no to ALL plastics, we should instead be choosing to buy items made of recycled plastic rather than supporting the creation of new plastics. Besides, we all recycle most of our plastics now, so what is the point in doing that if we don’t buy items made of recycled plastic? If we don’t, there won’t be enough of a demand for all the recycled plastic, and it will just end up in landfill! Less than ideal!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChoosing a holdall like this, made of recycled plastic, versus a regular one is an easy, environmentally friendly switch to make and will give you exactly the same quality and function (trust us, we’ve used this one ourselves!) We have a whole range of everyday items made of recycled materials. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow do I make sure this recycled holdall lasts?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis recycled plastic holdall should last you a fair while! To ensure that it does, you’ll need to make sure you care for it correctly. To keep it clean inside after use, wipe it with something like one of our multipurpose cloths.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf the bag really needs a good clean, then they are safe to wash at low temperatures without damaging the fabric. Be mindful, as this is a plastic-based fabric, washing it at higher temperatures can release microfibres into the water. To minimise this, we recommend hand washing it if possible. If you wanted to machine wash it, only do so at 30°C or lower and use an eco-friendly detergent such as our Bio-D washing powder.

We finish these off by stitching all the parts together with natural thread - meaning there's not a single ounce of plastic in these outdoor cushions. We really wanted to produce something luxe yet sustainable when it comes to these cushions, which is why we've ensured all the materials used to produce these homely outdoor cushions is as locally sourced as possible.

Minimal in design yet long lasting, mugs like this retro-style enamel coated mug have had a renaissance in recent years for the luxe-loving campers. And for good reason too! This practical camping mug is 100% fit for purpose. Made of porcelain fused onto heavy-gauge steel, it is strong, long-lasting and ideal for being transported from adventure to adventure. Whatever the setting, this white enamel mug with blue rim will ensure that you can enjoy a brew or two in style. It is the best enamel mug for a morning caffeine hit before your day of exploration or a post-adventure hot chocolate. We have also used them for a quick cuppa-soup for a mid-hike pick me up! \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs our vintage enamel mugs are made from steel, they can be recycled once they have come to the end of their long, long life (don’t worry, the enamel coating does not impact its ability to be turned into scrap metal). By recycling these enamelware camping mugs, the steel will be repurposed into something else - most often, cans! The use of scrap steel saves up to 74% of the energy needed to make steel from virgin materials which is incredible and why we should all be trying to recycle as much as we can as well as use products made of recycled materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEnamel on steel is hard and strong but like all good ceramic materials, it may chip if handled roughly or dropped. If this happens, don’t panic. The enamel coated mugs are still perfectly safe to use as the steel will naturally oxidise. Plus, we think it adds a bit of vintage character anyway! We like to think of these enamel mugs as the Levi jeans or Chanel bags of the outdoor tableware world. Classic, reliable, long lasting and they just get better with age. We’ve got enamel mugs ourselves which are still going strong after 20 years! \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat contexts can I use these enamel mugs in? \u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese luxury outdoor enamel coated mugs are perfect for anyone who wants to add a touch of aesthetic extravagance to their outdoor adventure. If you are a ‘picnic in the park’ sort of person, these cups can be packed into your cool bag ready to serve some cuppa soup or pour your flask of hot tea into. If long camping trips and mountain adventures are your sort of thing, these metal enamel cups also fit the bill and are great for an evening hot chocolate before bed (and more coffee when you wake up!). Just hook them onto your backpack to save space and away you go! \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChimney Sheep HQ is based just on the edge of the Lake District.

This, of course, is completely valid which is exactly why we have added our Classic Set of enamel tableware to our selection of outdoor tableware.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll of our enamelware is much stronger than our recycled plastic alternatives which ensures that they last throughout all your camping and travel adventures for years and years. In the context of single use plates, enamel plates are a more sustainable alternative, reducing the use and disposal of many sets of paper and plastic dishes. Although a little more expensive upfront, just think about cost per use! \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur enamel soup mugs from our Classic Set are also a bit weightier and feel a bit more ‘special’. There are some contexts when recycled plastic tableware just doesn’t fit the bill.

These enamelware mugs can withstand temperatures of up to 270 degrees Celsius which makes them perfect for camping. Unlike the plastic alternatives, our enamel mugs can be used for heating and serving (less washing up – hooray!).

We have used them as BBQ tableware a few times and they’ve been brilliant.

This is also 100% recyclable tableware so once they do come to the end of their long life (because we aren’t going to lie to you, it will eventually happen after a few hundred uses), you can put them into your recycling bin as you would your other household plastic.

Although the weather isn’t often kind to us, when it is sunny we love to ensure we can get out in our gardens to enjoy the UV rays and make sure we get our hit of vitamin D! When it has been sunny in the past, and we’ve enjoyed some al fresco dining, we have come to realise that there aren’t any recycled plastic options to use as outdoor tableware (and no one likes to use their ‘posh’ ceramic stuff for fear smashing them).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstead, most outdoor garden tableware options are disposable tableware (you know, the clear plastic plate sort of options that you chuck after one use?), melamine outdoor dinnerware (which is an artificial compound made under intense heat and is not recyclable nor particularly eco-friendly), or plastic plates and plastic dinner sets made from virgin plastics (and we all know that isn’t great for the environment). Frustrating, particularly with all the single-use plastic from disposable plates in circulation. So, we thought, ‘ah-ha!, let’s fix that! Let’s make outdoor dining tableware that is reusable and made from 100% recycled plastic'.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat seemed like a simple solution to the problem, turned out not to be so simple to create! To create these, we needed recycled food-grade plastic. A lot of food packaging gets recycled, so we thought that should be easy enough to source. Right? Wrong! Turns out, it is very difficult to get which seems non-sensical considering how much food-grade plastic we all recycle nowadays. The issue is, that most food-grade plastic doesn’t get separated out. Anyway, long story short, after researching and contacting lots of suppliers we EVENTUALLY got our hands-on recycled food-grade plastic and here we are today, with our fantastic reusable outdoor dinnerware!  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy is it important to use recycled plastic?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs we are probably all aware, plastics take an awful lot of energy to create, aren’t easy to dispose of and are generally not so great for the environment. Plastic isn’t all bad though. It is a useful material in lots of contexts – it’s hardy, long-lasting and lightweight. That’s what makes it so great for our premium plastic heavyweight plates. The issue comes when we continue to use virgin, disposable plastics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost of us now dutifully recycle most of our plastic waste. If we continue to recycle but then also continue to use virgin plastics, what is the point of recycling in the first place? Instead, it is important that we ‘close the loop’ and start using recycled plastics to make new things. As we said, plastic is a great material to use in lots of circumstances so if we have lots of plastic being recycled, then let’s use that stuff (and recycle and reuse again and again and again etc) for the items that plastic is great for, instead of continuing to create new virgin plastics. Common sense if you ask us!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe now have lots of everyday household items made of recycled materials.

This range has large plates, bowls and cups all made from recycled plastic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy have you created recycled plastic cups and tableware?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChimney Sheep HQ is based just on the edge of the Lake District. That means we are lucky enough to enjoy the benefits of the outdoors rather a lot and we love it! Lots of our colleagues love walking, camping, picnicking and exploring. How can you not when we live in such a beautiful part of the world?! It has made us realise though that there aren’t really any recycled plastic tableware options to take out with you that were eco-friendly, reusable and light enough to put in our backpacks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstead, there are either single-use plastic disposable plates, single-use paper disposable cups or traditional melamine picnicware sets (which is an artificial compound made under intense heat and is not recyclable nor particularly eco-friendly). So, we thought, ‘ah-ha!’, let’s fix that! Let’s make reusable plastic tableware made from 100% recycled plastic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat seemed like a simple solution to the problem, turned out not to be so simple to create! To create these, we needed recycled food-grade plastic. A lot of food packaging gets recycled, so we thought that should be easy enough to source. Right? Wrong! Turns out, it is very difficult to get which seems non-sensical considering how much food-grade plastic we all recycle nowadays. The issue is that most food-grade plastic doesn’t get separated out. Anyway, long story short, after researching and contacting lots of suppliers we EVENTUALLY got our hands-on recycled food-grade plastic and here we are today, with our fantastic reusable outdoor plastic plates, cups and bowls!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy is it important to use recycled plastic?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs we are probably all aware, plastics create an awful lot of energy to create, aren’t easy to dispose of and are generally not so great for the environment. Plastic isn’t all bad though. It is a useful material in lots of contexts – it’s hardy, long-lasting and lightweight. That’s what makes it so great for our reusable plastic tableware. The issue comes when we continue to use virgin, disposable plastics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost of us now dutifully recycle most of our plastic waste. If we continue to recycle but then also continue to use virgin plastics, what is the point of recycling in the first place? Instead, it is important that we ‘close the loop’ and start using recycled plastics to make new things. As we said, plastic is a great material to use in lots of circumstances so if we have lots of plastic being recycled, then let’s use that stuff (and recycle and reuse again and again and again etc) for the items that plastic is great for, instead of continuing to create new virgin plastics. Common sense if you ask us!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe now have lots of everyday household items made of recycled materials.

We have used them as BBQ tableware a few times and they’ve been brilliant! High quality, heavy-duty and designed to last, this reusable outdoor bowl set is an eco-friendly alternative to traditional plastic garden bowls, melamine outdoor bowls and disposable plastic \u0026amp; paper bowls. These really are deluxe plastic bowls!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike other outdoor dinnerware, these plastic bowls are made from 100% food-grade recycled plastic. That means they are made of milk bottles, yoghurt pots, and plastic food trays that have been recycled and reformed into heavy-duty plastic dinnerware!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost plastic bowls and other outdoor crockery are made from virgin plastic or are disposable bowls. Either that or they are melamine bowls or come as part of a bamboo dinner set – again, all made from virgin materials. These ones utilise and repurpose recycled plastics to create reusable, colourful plastic bowls that are practical, sustainable, long-lasting, and therefore more environmentally friendly (and in our opinion look better than even high-quality disposable bowls!). This is also 100% recyclable tableware so once they do come to the end of their long life, (because we aren’t going to lie to you, it will eventually happen after a few thousand uses), you can put them into your recycling bin as you would your other household plastic. They really are the best reusable plastic bowls in our eyes because they are zero waste.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey are also BPA free so you can guarantee they are safe to use over and over as well as being dishwasher safe and microwave safe. Due to their versatility, they are great to use as kids' tableware, party bowls (we love using them for ice-cream sundaes!), microwavable plastic bowls and as outdoor bowls when eating in the garden – basically any occasion where you need a premium plastic bowl that can take a battering but is easy to cook with and easy to clean!  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHave you got matching items to make dinnerware sets?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, we do! We have created the range so that you can mix and match between colours and cutlery types. In addition to these recycled plastic bowls, within our Al Fresco Set, we also have recyclable plastic dinner plates, cups and cutlery to make complete plastic garden crockery sets. Like these bowls, all the items in our Al Fresco Set are high quality, heavy-duty, reusable, designed to last, made from recycled plastic and are environmentally friendly (packaging included). That’s why all of the items in this range are great replacements and eco-friendly alternatives to regular outdoor melamine dinnerware sets, melamine garden tableware or regular plastic party dinnerware sets.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCan I use these recycled plastic bowls and matching items as garden tableware?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou absolutely can use these plastic bowls as plastic garden crockery during the summer months. As we mentioned above, these bowls and the items in our Al Fresco Set of recycled plastic crockery are designed for outdoor use or in situations where you’d like a more heavy-duty style of bowl. That means you can use them as outdoor dinnerware, caravan crockery, patio dinnerware, a BBQ tableware set, as an alternative to disposable party bowls and even children’s tableware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you were planning to chuck these in a bag to use as camping bowls or for picnics, then we’d recommend having a look at our Adventure Set instead. Still just as eco-friendly and made from 100% recycled plastic, the plastic tableware in this set is slightly less durable but much more lightweight. That means they are perfect for transporting because they won’t weigh you down on an outdoor adventure, will take up minimal space but will still be sturdy enough to last! This collection has large plates, small plates and cups.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy have you created recycled plastic bowls and crockery?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChimney Sheep HQ is based just on the edge of the Lake District. Although the weather isn’t often kind to us, when it is sunny we love to ensure we can get out in our gardens to enjoy the UV rays and make sure we get our hit of vitamin D! When it has been sunny in the past, and we’ve enjoyed some al fresco dining, we have come to realise that there aren’t any recycled plastic options to use as outdoor tableware (and no one likes to use their ‘posh’ ceramic stuff for fear smashing them).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstead, most outdoor garden tableware options are disposable tableware (you know, the clear plastic plate sort of options that you chuck after one use?), melamine outdoor dinnerware (which is an artificial compound made under intense heat and is not recyclable nor particularly eco-friendly), or plastic plates and plastic dinner sets made from virgin plastics (and we all know that isn’t great for the environment). Frustrating, particularly with all the single-use plastic from disposable plates in circulation - you'd have thought they might be being recycled to be remade back into plates. But no. So, we thought, ‘ah-ha!, let’s fix that! Let’s make outdoor dining tableware that is reusable and made from 100% recycled plastic'.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat seemed like a simple solution to the problem, turned out not to be so simple to create!

The set also comes with a 350ml water bottle which will keep you well hydrated throughout the day! We’ve used this set on some local Lake District walks and have loved it.

This set is also BPA-free which means they are totally safe to use over and over.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany Tupperware-style boxes and reusable plastic bottles are made of plastic and more often than not, virgin plastic. We have found this first-hand and have really struggled to find everyday items made with recycled materials that were affordable and of a good quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen we found and tried this lunch set we knew we had to add them to our shop!

It reduces the volume of plastic waste that goes into landfill, reduces the amount of plastic that gets blown into the ocean en route to landfill sites, reduces plastic pollution, it conserves resources and reduces the amount of energy used producing items from virgin plastic (to name a few reasons!).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut once we recycle plastic, what do we do? Well, think about it. If we dutifully recycle our plastic but continue to use virgin plastics, then what’s the point of recycling it in the first place? If we don’t buy products made of recycled plastic the plastic we continue to recycle will soon pile up into more unwanted waste or get burned.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo instead, we should try and buy products made with recycled plastic to make all our dutiful recycling worth it! Plastic is a hardy, versatile material so can be repurposed from its original state into all sorts of other things when it’s recycled. Doing this is called ‘closing the loop’ (the loop being the three arrows on the recycling logo) and helps to create a more circular economy with less waste.

Minimal, yet robust and long-lasting, these rustic-style enamel-coated bowls have made a resurgence with their popularity growing among outdoor enthusiasts and family adventurers alike. Practical enamelware such as this large enamel bowl is completely fit for purpose. It's made of porcelain fused onto heavy-gauge steel. This means it's long-lasting, tough, and perfect for transportation - there's little risk of the bowl cracking!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRustic, yet classic in design this white bowl with blue rims will fit the bill in any outdoor dining situation - it's big, practical, and incredibly easy to maintain - perfect for sharing food on a mountainside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis large enamelware bowl is strong, ceramic bonded to steel is very tough stuff. But, like anything related to porcelain, this bowl may chip if it's dropped one too many times. Please don't worry if this happens though, any exposed steel will just oxidise, adding a touch of history and character to your bowl. If you really wanted you could cover the chip with a little food-safe varnish or similar - but we think a little wear and tear just makes the bowls look even better.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen enamelware finally wears out, after a long, long life - it can be fully recycled like any other steel item (not to worry the enamel coating doesn't affect a thing).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe use of scrap steel saves up to 74% of the energy needed to make steel from virgin materials which is incredible and why we should all be trying to recycle as much as we can as well as use products made of recycled materials.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHave you got any other enamelware available, so I can make a set? \u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, we do!

This means that unlike the plastic alternatives, our enamel bowls can be used for heating and serving (less washing up – hooray!).

That means they are made of milk bottles, yoghurt pots, and plastic food trays that have been recycled and reformed into heavy-duty plastic drinkware!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost plastic cups and other outdoor crockery are made from virgin plastic or are disposable cups. Either that or they are melamine cups or come as part of a bamboo dinnerware set – again, all made from virgin materials. These ones utilise and repurpose recycled plastics to create reusable, colourful plastic cups that are practical, sustainable, long-lasting, and therefore more environmentally friendly (and in our opinion look better than even high-quality disposable cups!). This is also 100% recyclable tableware so once they do come to the end of their long life, (because we aren’t going to lie to you, it will eventually happen after a few thousand uses), you can put them into your recycling bin as you would your other household plastic. They really are the best reusable plastic cups in our eyes because they are zero waste.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey are also BPA free so you can guarantee they are safe to use over and over as well as being dishwasher safe and microwave safe. Due to their versatility, they are great to use as kids' tableware, party cups, microwavable plastic cups and as outdoor cups when eating in the garden – basically any occasion where you need premium plastic cups that can take a battering but are practical to use and easy to clean!  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHave you got matching items to make tableware sets?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, we do! We have created the range so that you can mix and match between colours and cutlery types. In addition to these recycled plastic cups, within our Al Fresco Set, we also have recycled plastic dinner plates, bowls and cutlery to make complete plastic garden crockery sets. Like these cups, all the items in our Al Fresco Set are high quality, heavy-duty, reusable, designed to last, made from recycled plastic and are environmentally friendly (packaging included). That’s why all of the items in this range are great replacements and eco-friendly alternatives to regular outdoor melamine dinnerware sets, melamine garden tableware or regular plastic party dinnerware sets.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCan I use these recycled plastic cups and matching items as garden tableware?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou absolutely can use these large plastic cups as plastic garden crockery during the summer months. As we mentioned above, these cups and the items in our Al Fresco Set of recycled plastic crockery are designed for outdoor use or in situations where you’d like a more heavy-duty style of plastic cups. That means you can use them as outdoor drinkware, caravan crockery, patio dinnerware, a BBQ tableware set, as an alternative to disposable party cups and even children’s tableware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you were planning to chuck these in a bag to use as camping cups or picnic cups, then we’d recommend having a look at our Adventure Set instead. Still just as eco-friendly and made from 100% recycled plastic, the plastic tableware in this set is much more lightweight. That means they are perfect for transporting because they won’t weigh you down on an outdoor adventure, will take up minimal space but will still be sturdy enough to last! The Adventure range contains large plates, small plates and cups.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy have you created recycled plastic cups and crockery?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChimney Sheep HQ is based just on the edge of the Lake District. Although the weather isn’t often kind to us, when it is sunny we love to ensure we can get out in our gardens to enjoy the UV rays and make sure we get our hit of vitamin D! When it has been sunny in the past, and we’ve enjoyed some al fresco dining, we have come to realise that there aren’t any recycled plastic options to use as outdoor tableware (and no one likes to use their ‘posh’ ceramic stuff for fear smashing them).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstead, most outdoor garden tableware options are disposable tableware (you know, the clear plastic plate sort of options that you chuck after one use?), melamine outdoor dinnerware (which is an artificial compound made under intense heat and is not recyclable nor particularly eco-friendly), or plastic plates and plastic dinner sets made from virgin plastics (and we all know that isn’t great for the environment). Frustrating, particularly with all the single-use plastic from disposable plates in circulation - you'd have thought they might be being recycled to be remade back into plates. But no. So, we thought, ‘ah-ha!’, let’s fix that! Let’s make outdoor dining tableware and drinkware that is reusable and made from 100% recycled plastic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat seemed like a simple solution to the problem, turned out not to be so simple to create!

Turns out, it is very difficult to get which seems nonsensical considering how much food-grade plastic we all recycle nowadays. The issue is that most food-grade plastic doesn’t get separated out. Anyway, long story short, after researching and contacting lots of suppliers we EVENTUALLY got our hands on recycled food-grade plastic and here we are today, with our fantastic reusable outdoor dinnerware!  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy is it important to use recycled plastic?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs we are probably all aware, plastics take an awful lot of energy to create, aren’t easy to dispose of and are generally not so great for the environment.

The issue comes when we continue to use virgin, disposable plastics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost of us now dutifully recycle most of our plastic waste.

As we said, plastic is a great material to use in lots of circumstances so if we have lots of plastic being recycled, then let’s use that stuff (and recycle and reuse again and again and again etc) for the items that plastic is great for, instead of continuing to create new virgin plastics.

Whether you were in the Girl Guides or Scouts, enamel dishware was a must have when collecting your badges. Minimal in design yet long lasting, these retro-style enamel coated plates have had a renaissance in recent years for the luxe-loving campers. And for good reason too! These practical enamel plates are 100% fit for purpose. Made of porcelain fused onto heavy-gauge steel, they are strong, long-lasting and ideal for being transported from adventure to adventure. Whatever the setting, these white enamel camping plates with blue rims will ensure that you can dine in style.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs these enamel picnic plates are made from steel, they can be recycled once they have come to the end of their long, long life (don’t worry, the enamel coating does not impact its ability to be turned into scrap metal. By recycling the plates, the steel will be repurposed into something else - most often, cans! The use of scrap steel saves up to 74% of the energy needed to make steel from virgin materials which is incredible and why we should all be trying to recycle as much as we can as well as use products made of recycled materials.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEnamel on steel is hard and strong but like all good ceramic materials, it may chip if handled roughly or dropped. If this happens, don’t panic. The plates are still perfectly safe to use as the steel will naturally oxidise. Plus, we think it adds a bit of vintage character anyway! We like to think of these enamel plates as the Levi jeans or Chanel bags of the outdoor tableware world. Classic, reliable, long lasting and they just get better with age. We’ve got enamel cups ourselves which are still going strong after 20 years! \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat contexts can I use these enamel plates in? \u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese luxury outdoor plates are perfect for anyone who wants to add a touch of aesthetic extravagance to their outdoor adventure. If you are a ‘picnic in the park’ sort of person, these plates can be stacked and packed into your cool bag. If long camping trips and mountain adventures are your sort of thing, these plates also fit the bill!  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChimney Sheep HQ is based just on the edge of the Lake District. That means we are lucky enough to enjoy the benefits of the outdoors rather a lot and we love it! Lots of our colleagues love walking, camping, picnicking, and exploring. They have tested these enamel dinner plates out and have given them a big thumbs up! \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHave you got matching items to make enamel crockery sets and enamel tableware sets? \u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, we do! Our Classic Set is a full range of enamel dishware. To match this enamel plate set, we have an enamel dish set, enamel camping mugs, enamel tea cans and enamel espresso mug. You can mix and match all of these to create your ultimate luxury enamel dinner set for the outdoors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy have you created enamel tableware when you already have recycled plastic tableware?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough we stock a fantastic range of recycled plastic outdoor tableware  some people just don’t want to use plastic anymore due to concerns over where our plastic recycling goes. This, of course, is completely valid which is exactly why we have added our Classic Set of enamel tableware to our selection of outdoor tableware.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese enamel plates are much stronger than our recycled plastic alternatives which ensures that it lasts throughout all camping and travel adventures for years and years. In the context of single use plates, enamel plates are a more sustainable alternative, reducing the use and disposal of many sets of paper and plastic dishes. Although a little more expensive upfront, just think about cost per use! \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur enamel plates from our Classic Set are also a bit weightier and feel a bit more ‘special’. There are some contexts when recycled plastic tableware just don’t fit the bill. Some people don’t really like the ‘taste’ of eating hot food from plastic plates, so these enamel picnic plates are a great alternative.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSometimes plastic (recycled or not) isn’t the right material to use for certain uses.  For example, cooking on gas stoves whilst camping can cause difficulties when using plastic camping gear. These enamelware picnic plates can withstand temperatures of up to 270 degrees Celsius so can not only be used when camping but on BBQ racks too. This means that unlike the plastic alternatives, enamel picnic plates can be used for heating and serving (less washing up – hooray!). We quite like using our enamelware bowl as a mini saucepan and use these plates as a lid to make the heating process faster.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chimney Sheep","offers":[{"title":"Small","offer_id":46716808462370,"sku":"zzh1788256652942","price":15.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Large","offer_id":46716808495138,"sku":"aqk1788256652943","price":18.27,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0799\/5260\/9314\/files\/enamel-plates-classic-set-pack-of-4_1.jpg?v=1788256660"},{"product_id":"recycled-paper-napkins-pack-of-20","title":"Recycled Paper Napkins Pack of 20","description":"\u003ch4\u003eAre recycled paper napkins as good as regular paper napkins?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRecycled paper napkins are just as useful and effective as regular paper napkins, if not more so.
