Plastic tableware is an integral part of care. The many advantages over glass or porcelain have been recognised for decades.

ACTIVATION BRINGS RELIEF
Eating and drinking by yourself is enjoyable well into old age. Making your own choices and decisions about how you eat is very important. If the residents still practise their independence, the workload of the care staff is relieved. It takes a lot of time for carers to serve meals - time that is then lacking elsewhere. However, letting people feed themselves often leads to broken cups and dishes, as items smash on the floor due to weak grip or uncontrolled movements.

This is where eating and drinking aids, as well as classic tableware, made from high-quality plastic come into play. The plates, cups and boards are virtually unbreakable and can withstand an unexpected drop to the floor. And where there are no broken pieces, there are no injuries. With an annual breakage rate of just 2% (compared to around 33% for porcelain), far fewer replacements are needed. Food and drinks stay warm or cold for longer with the help of plastic tableware, so even slow eaters and drinkers can enjoy themselves in peace. If that's not enough, an item of crockery from the Keep Warm range will help. It is not necessary to preheat the high-quality plastic plates; the food can be served directly without energy-intensive preheating of the dishes.

ATMOSPHERE IS IMPORTANT
When the whole dining room is tucking in, it can become noisy because cutlery on glass or porcelain plates makes an unpleasant clattering sound. It can be annoying for staff and residents - it causes stress, which nobody needs. Plastic can help here: the background noise is much quieter when plastic plates are used in larger table groups, creating a pleasant atmosphere during mealtimes. A very important advantage which people do not always consider is the weight of the crockery. A high-quality plastic plate weighs about half as much as a glass or porcelain plate. This takes the strain off all staff who have to carry the crockery and promotes the independence of residents with weak hands or arms, as they can lift and use the plates and cups themselves.
