The research work is dedicated to analyzing the impact of disposable tableware and packages made from synthetic polymers on people and the environment and the search for ecological alternatives to synthetic polymers used in their production. Various types of disposable tableware and packages, their composition, production technology, harmful effects on the human body, environmental pollution, processing, and recycling were studied. The statistics of the use of disposable tableware and packages in Ukraine and the world as a whole, and the places of their use were analyzed. Ecological alternatives to disposable tableware and packages made from various natural materials have been studied. A practical study of the use of organic waste and wastepaper for producing ecological disposable dishes and packages was carried out. Methods: analytical research (analysis contains data from international sites and conclusions of research held in foreign institutions), survey (which was held among students of my school), and experimental research.
