The amount of plastic marine litter in oceans and seas is growing, to the detriment of ecosystems, biodiversity and potentially human health, and causes widespread concern. At the same time, valuable material that could be brought back into the economy is lost, once littered. Single Use Plastic (SUP) items represent about half of all marine litter items found on European beaches by counts. (Reference: Proposal for a DIRECTIVE OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL on the reduction of the impact of certain plastic products on the environment, 28/05/1018)

There is always a reason for partying- for everyone. As soon as it gets warmer the barbecue season begins, and even in winter more and more people feel like having a barbecue. Professional caterers, too, use more and more disposable paperplates.
Critical consumers appreciate paperplates which are sustainably produced and can easily be disposed of. So we focus on sustainable production and the use of environmentally-friendly material.
Paperplates are better than their reputation as their natural raw material can easily be recycled. This environmentally- friendly advantage is less known than the generally known advantages of disposable dishes such as hygiene, multi-purpose use and convenience.
Latest surveys show very clearly that disposable tableware has got a positive ecobalance from production to disposal. For ecological comparisons- paperplates versus traditional tableware- we can consult studies which focus on water consumption for dish washing and the rate of broken dishware.
This means your upcoming party or event will always be a success from the ecological point of view.

Fast growing woods from European trees such as spruce, pine or birchwood are used for the HOSTI paper plates, paper bowls and tart plates made from virgin fibres. The designated woodlands are subjected to permanent supervision and re-forestation.
Sustainability means that we make sure that for any cut tree three to four new ones will be planted, the permanent thinning of the trees improves and increases the tree population additionally. (Source: Association of German paper plants).
70 years ago our company founder, Emil Stickel, had a simple but brilliant business idea – the production of paper plates. Back in 1949 he manufactured his first real paper plate in a fire resistant hot pot. It was a rectangular shaped plate.
Even though a lot of things have changed since then, this basic idea of production lives successfully on in our family owned company. State-of- the-art machines shape paper plates by applying pressure and heat.
Today Hosti produces more than 2 billion eco-friendly paper plates a year by using renewable raw materials. Our own solar plant – the biggest one in our area – supplies us exclusively with ecological electricity.
In 2015 we introduced hygiene management according to the BRC standards.
