If it is biodegradable, it will melt and be all but gone at the end of the cycle. If it's still in tact, it's regular old plastic and barring specialty recycling, it will be around for many years to come!

We recently went on a school field trip to Sucre's new kitchen and was very impressive. They were making the base for their gelato from Smith Creamery Milk and raw cane sugar from a local mill while we were there. We tasted the base and it was divine. The gelato chef then took some of the base and made bread pudding gelato. Oh, now that was good. They were so nice and the place is clean and organized. We were also very intrigued by the chocolate machines and the process for making chocolates. It is so cool to have a place like Sucre call New Orleans home. P.S. After reading dorothy's post above I called the store to ask about their cups and spoons being eco-friendly. They said that they most definitely eco-friendly and in fact are made by the same company La Divina buys theirs from. I think La Divina and Sucre both have flavors that stand out.

I had a job interview there a few months back and had the best hot mocha I've ever tasted there, but they didn't give me the job, so I've not been back! Shoulda hired me, yo!

It comes from a preprepared powder hence why La Divina's fresh ingredients make them the winner. Sucre’s gelato isn’t fresh btw.

The only thing I haven't been crazy about is the grape sorbetto, but I think there are some people who would go wild for it.
