This July, reduce your plastic waste and pollution. It is vital that we have cleaner streets, oceans & communities and people continue to be apart of the solution to reducing plastic pollution. Sometimes it is hard to know what resources are not good for the environment. We all want our oceans, rain forests, wildlife and communities to strive and stay as clean as possible. At Livingstone, we understand the importance of delivering eco-friendly products.
Make the switch by using our biodegradable products
Check out our tips on how you can be more environmentally friendly with our products

Our biodegradable plate, spoon and fork is a great alternatives for parties and to use as general cutlery. Our plates are tree-free and made from reclaimed sugar cane pulp. Our spoons and forks are composed of cornstarch and polypropylene, which is more environmentally friendly than traditional plastic.
Refuse to use plastic straws with your takeaway or dine-in meals. Plastic easily ends up blown down drains and into oceans. It is in the top 10 list of items that is collected in beach cleanups. Our paper straws are biodegradable and provide customers with a hygienic way to enjoy their drinks.
