Thanksgiving is a season for gathering, gratitude, and good food — but it doesn’t have to mean overflowing trash bins or unnecessary waste. With a few thoughtful choices, you can host a beautiful, memorable Thanksgiving that’s kind to the planet, too.
Here are 3 simple ways to create a sustainable Thanksgiving table:
🌿 1. Choose Compostable, Plant-Based Tableware
Skip plastic and coated paper plates this year. Dtocs palm leaf plates and bamboo fiber dinnerware are made from naturally fallen materials — no trees cut, no chemicals used, and fully compostable after your feast. Sturdy enough for turkey and gravy, stylish enough for any tablescape, and zero waste left behind.
🥗 2. Reduce Food Waste with Smart Serving + Composting
Plan portions mindfully and encourage guests to bring containers for leftovers. For bigger gatherings, offer bamboo fiber clamshells for easy take-home meals. Compost veggie scraps and plate waste when possible — it keeps food out of landfills and gives nutrients back to the earth.
🍁 3. Decorate with Nature, Not Plastic
Create a warm, autumn tablescape using what you already have: fall leaves, pinecones, branches, seasonal fruits, or reusable linens. Pair these with palm leaf serving trays for a beautiful, rustic look that doesn’t generate waste. Simple, elegant, and perfectly in tune with the season.
✨ Celebrate With Purpose
Thanksgiving is about connection — not consumption. With Dtocs, you can host a holiday that’s beautiful, effortless, and gentle on the planet.
