I think many of them are superior. Like our plates and our bowls are thicker than what you would use for a standard conventional. They're more durable. Oh, interesting. Yeah, because of just what they're made from. We use upcycled sugarcane. So once the sugar industry, they extract juice from the cane, but then the cane is typically burned. Sometimes for like a year. I read about that. Yeah. It's massive waste. Yeah, it's waste. So we will use that. It's actually very strong. Those fibers are really strong. We also use post-industrial recycled wood chips to give it like that extra durability. It's a very premium product. but at a value price. So that's what's great about those because it's a waste product.
