# Why should I buy compostable products?
Takeout orders account for around **[269,000 US tons](https://www.plasticpollutioncoalition.org/guides-eats/)** of plastic waste that has entered the oceans. According to the NOAA Ocean Service, plastic **[doesn’t decompose](https://oceanservice.noaa.gov/facts/degrade.html)** and can stick around *indefinitely.* And every day, more cities, counties, states and even countries are**[joining the movement](https://www.globalcitizen.org/en/content/plastic-bans-around-the-world/)**to ban single-use plastics in favor of sustainable alternatives like compostable and reusable products.
Our customers purchase compostable products because they know the disposables landscape is changing and their end-users are demanding more sustainable options. At Better Earth, we help our customers meet their sustainability goals with innovative products that offer the same quality and similar performance to conventional plastic and Styrofoam.
