Auto racing teams have been using tear off membranes
on
windshields for decades to allow for rapid cleaning of
the
windscreen without scrubbing etc.
Now this same technology comes to the aid of college
students, campers, couch potatoes and anyone else that
is
in a hurry to clean up
or away from the normal facilities.
The films are stacked in alternating layers with small
tabs arrayed about the perimeter of the plate. This gives
you ready access to the tabs while also giving you a a
quick indication of the number of remaining films.
When your meal is done you simply tear off the dirty film
and your plate is ready for the next meal. No fuss no
muss!

It's a good idea, but //college students ... clean up // suggests a woeful lack of familiarity with the domestic habits of (male) college students ... |

Oooo la di da eating off a Plate! Whats wrong with the cardboard box the pizza was delivered in, little lord muck are we now? |
|

Actually this is an excellent idea all round so [+] |

What happens to the tear off film, which is
presumably made from plastic, and being now
contaminated with food waste cannot be recycled? |
|

Surely it would be better to have a
horizontally-mounted fan integrated into your table
and serve all your food suspended on the updraft of
air? Looks cool, and no washing up. |

Tear off film could be made of biodegradable cellulose, put in compost along with food waste. |
|
| |
Less effort; no need to get a new plate out of the packet. |

|
| |
The Tear off would be made of biodegradable Landfill
friendly plastic. |

... but that will still burn nicely, right ? |

They said it was supposed to be funny, but with enough perseverence it was possible to make an earnest version... |
|

actually, no it wasn't. It was just funny. <agog> |
