plastic plate

Lightweight serving dish

A plastic plate is a flat dish made from plastic rather than ceramic, glass, or paper.

Plastic plates are lightweight, durable, and often reusable, making them common at picnics, children's parties, and outdoor events: We used plastic plates so we wouldn't have to worry about anything breaking.

They range from flimsy disposable versions to sturdy dinnerware meant for everyday use.
