Repurpose Review and Giveaway
The most memorable party I have ever had has to be one of the more recent parties that has been attended. Many people are unaware that my husband Jason and I eloped and kept the secret for much longer then regularly heard of. One evening I could not keep the secret from my father any longer, and mostly spurred by my new in-laws discovering our secret first, we went to speak to my father. After a little shock, silence and obligatory eye rolls, things mellowed and acceptance was in view.
Since I have celebrated every major milestone with a party of some variety, this news of marriage was no different. Shortly after the bombshell news, my father volunteered to throw us the reception we were unable to have a couple of years earlier. I went into party planning mode and settled on a beach theme since we had recently bought our house near the coast.
The one downside to parties and party planning is the amount of trash that is generated. I shutter at the amount of plates, cups and plastic ware gets thrown away and ultimately lands into our local landfills. The party planner in me is happy to say that I may have found a solution to that dreaded trash generation problem – Repurpose.
What is Repurpose? Repurpose is 100% compostable tableware – Repurpose composts in an industrial composter in only 90 days. Repurpose is made from corn, sugar and bamboo which are all annually renewable resources. The ink is soy-based, and products are BPA-free, chlorine free and petroleum free. These plates can withstand temperatures up to 200 degrees Fahrenheit as well as being heavy-duty plates that are cut and leak resistant. The cutlery is almost unbreakable and comes in 24 count packs – 8 forks, 8 spoons and 8 knives.
I decided to use the 9″ Plates for the first time with a sub sandwich, which was less than tasty, but the plate and utensils were of a high quality. The plate held my 6″ inch sandwich and the plate kept its structural integrity never bending or making me feel that I would “lose my lunch”. The cups are 12oz Cold Cup’s that are able to hold 6-7 ice cubes and about 2/3 of a can of soda. I did place the Cutlery out on the setup in case of needed use and to my surprise the knife was able to cut through my bacon, lettuce and avocado sandwich simply. The knife cut with ease and most importantly did not break.
Repurpose has an entire line of tableware available including:
- 12oz Hot Cups with Lid
- 16oz Bowls – 20 Count
- 6″ Plates and 9″ Plates – 20 Count
- 12oz Cold Cup – 20/50 count
- Cutlery: 24 count pack
This year Jason and I will be married for 5 years, and while a honeymoon would be our ultimate wish, a party may be in order. The one change that will forever be in place at any party we host is the addition of Repurpose. The idea of being able to enjoy the party while not adding to our landfills, assures us that we will celebrate not only 5 years together but many more. If we do not consider our carbon footprint, we are destined to wash those prints away, and make more impacting prints.

My son’s first birthday! We had the party at the Nature Center where all of our guests could walk around and see all of the animals! We set up the traditional Korean doljabee ceremony where he”chose” his future destiny by selecting one symbolic item from many laid out in front of him. My little man dressed up in traditional clothing called a dol-bok and selected the baseball from the items before him! (I guess he’s going to be a big ball player when he grows up!) Loved it and everyone had a blast!! Thank you for the giveaway!
