As for paper being bulky trash, aren't about 50 plates just a few inches thick and 10 inches round when you buy them and don't ball them up?
I think the trash of paper is only relevant if you have long periods with nowhere to dispose of it.

When you do dishes, you're obviously conscious of conserving water to a degree your crew isn't.

I know dishwashers are not common on smaller boats but see that changing. I think with many people now if they could make one change in their galley, that would be it.

Meanwhile they're just like microwaves and cooktops and everything else of that nature, just a matter of personal preference.
