Disposable dishes and utensils

I don’t really like disposable things, especially disposable dishes and utensils. They simple don’t work very well and create too much trash. However they can be very useful in emergency’s.

When there is no time to wash up, no water to wash up with or simply not enough space for any large quantity of real dishes and utensils, disposable dishes and utensils become very useful. Having clean things to eat from prevents illnesses from being spread and reduce the logistics you need in the short term. In the long term you need to get resupply and dispose of the trash. Having disposable dishes and utensils on hand is generally a good idea for short-medium length emergency preparedness. Saving time and space for more important things. This applies to both large organizations and for people whom  are preparing for an emergency them self's.

There is however a huge disadvantage of the disposable plastic cup. Somehow somebody will tip one over and ruin a keyboard, maps, binders, etc. It's Murphy's law is guess.
