The Problem with Plastic Placemats & Single-Use Waste
Most disposable placemats and children’s table products are made from plastic or plastic-coated materials that can take hundreds of years to break down. Designed for just one meal, they often end up in landfills or waterways long after their purpose has passed — contributing to long-term environmental harm.
Why CrumbleTots Is Different
CrumbleTots products are intentionally non-plastic and biodegradable, made from thoughtfully sourced paper-based materials that return to the earth naturally. Instead of lingering for generations, our mats break down in about 12 weeks, reducing waste without sacrificing convenience for families.
The Science Behind Biodegradability
Biodegradable materials are designed to be broken down by natural processes like moisture, microbes, and oxygen. Unlike plastic — which only fragments into microplastics — CrumbleTots products fully decompose, leaving no toxic residue behind. That means fewer pollutants, less waste, and a healthier planet for the next generation.
A Small Choice That Adds Up
Choosing biodegradable over plastic may feel like a small shift, but when used daily — at home, restaurants, and on the go — it creates a meaningful reduction in waste.
