The Brunner PLA Tierra Forest Melamine 12 Piece Set brings eco-friendly dining to your caravan, motorhome or campsite without compromising on style or performance. This complete tableware collection includes four dinner plates (25 cm), four dessert plates (20 cm) and four bowls (15 cm), all crafted from PLA (polylactic acid) derived from renewable plant sources like maize and sugar cane. The biodegradable material reduces CO2 emissions by up to 60% compared to conventional plastics, making it a responsible choice for environmentally conscious campers. With its elegant Tierra Forest finish, this set adds a warm, natural aesthetic to outdoor meals whilst remaining completely BPA-free and safe for contact with food.
Why choose PLA tableware over traditional melamine for camping?
PLA tableware offers the same durability and lightweight benefits as traditional melamine but with significant environmental advantages. Made from renewable plant sources rather than petroleum-based plastics, PLA is fully biodegradable and compostable whilst reducing carbon emissions by up to 60%. The Brunner Tierra Forest set handles temperatures from -20°C to 120°C, remains odourless and tasteless, and works in microwaves, dishwashers and freezers, giving you all the practical features of standard camping tableware with a substantially smaller environmental footprint.
Temperature resistance is a standout feature, with these pieces handling everything from frozen desserts to piping hot stews. The set is microwave-safe for up to 60 minutes at 120°C and dishwasher-safe for quick clean-up after meals. Each piece features an anti-slip rubber ring integrated into the base, preventing plates and bowls from sliding off tables during transit or on uneven ground. The break-resistant construction means you won't face shattered crockery if someone drops a plate, whilst the porcelain-like finish gives your campsite dining area a touch of sophistication that disposable plates simply can't match.
The 12-piece configuration provides complete table settings for four people, making it ideal for families, couples with guests, or small groups travelling together. The plates stack neatly for compact storage in caravan cupboards or motorhome lockers, and the anti-slip bases prevent rattling during travel. Whether you're serving breakfast before a day's hiking, a picnic lunch by the coast, or dinner under the stars, this set combines practical camping features with genuine environmental benefits. The PLA construction means these pieces will break down naturally at the end of their useful life rather than persisting in landfill for centuries.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is PLA and how is it different from regular melamine?
PLA stands for polylactic acid, a plant-based bioplastic crafted from renewable sources like maize and sugar cane. While traditional melamine delivers excellent durability and lightweight convenience for your camping adventures, PLA brings you those same practical advantages with an eco-friendly approach—it's fully biodegradable and compostable. Choosing PLA helps reduce CO2 emissions by up to 60% compared to conventional plastics, and when your tableware eventually reaches the end of its journey, it breaks down naturally instead of sitting in landfill for centuries.
Can I use the Brunner Tierra Forest set in a microwave and dishwasher?
Yes, the Brunner PLA Tierra Forest Melamine Set is both microwave-safe and dishwasher-safe. The tableware handles temperatures up to 120°C for up to 60 minutes, making it suitable for warming meals in your caravan or motorhome microwave. You can place these pieces straight into your dishwasher for convenient cleanup after a day outdoors. The set is also freezer-safe with unlimited temperature resistance down to -20°C, so you can store pre-prepared meals or frozen items as needed.
Will these plates and bowls slide around when I'm travelling?
The Brunner Tierra Forest set features integrated anti-slip rubber rings on the base of each piece. This design keeps your tableware secure on tables or worktops while you're on the move and prevents plates from sliding off surfaces during transit. The anti-slip bases also reduce rattling sounds when your set is stacked away in caravan cupboards or motorhome storage as you travel to your next camping destination.
Is PLA tableware safe for hot food and drinks?
Yes, PLA tableware is designed to handle both hot and cold foods. The Brunner Tierra Forest set offers temperature resistance from -20°C (unlimited duration) to 120°C for up to 60 minutes, making it suitable for serving stews, soups, pasta dishes, and other heated camping meals. The material is odourless and tasteless, so your food tastes as it should. It's also BPA-free and food-safe, meeting all safety standards for your outdoor dining experiences.
How do I dispose of PLA tableware when it reaches the end of its life?
PLA tableware is both biodegradable and compostable, which means it returns to nature over time. For optimal disposal, PLA products work best when placed in industrial composting facilities where conditions help them break down efficiently. Many local councils accept PLA in food waste or compost collections, so it's worth checking what your local authority offers. While PLA will eventually biodegrade even in standard conditions, industrial composting provides the quickest and most environmentally beneficial breakdown—typically taking a few months rather than years.
