There is no religious impediment to using plastic plates and utensils for eating and drinking. What is prohibited are gold and silver vessels, due to the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "Do not drink in vessels of gold and silver, nor eat in their plates, for they are for them in this world and for you in the Hereafter."
