10-Inch 3-Compartment Compostable Bagasse Plates – Pack of 500

Wholesale 10-Inch 3-Compartment Compostable Bagasse Plates – Pack of 500

In stock. Serve complete meals neatly with these strong 10-inch three-compartment bagasse plates. Made from moulded sugarcane fibre, they provide a practical plastic-free alternative to conventional plastic and foam disposable plates.

The plate is divided into three separate sections, helping keep the main dish and side portions apart. This makes it easier to serve meals such as curry with rice and vegetables, chicken with chips and salad, or a main course with two separate accompaniments.

The rigid moulded-fibre construction is suitable for hot and cold food, including many oily, moist and moderately saucy dishes. The generous 10-inch diameter provides sufficient space for a complete meal while the compartments support consistent portion control and a more organised presentation.

Supplied in a wholesale case of 500 disposable bagasse plates, they are suitable for takeaways, caterers, food trucks, workplace dining, schools, events, festivals and hospitality businesses.

For meals that do not require separate sections, consider our 10-Inch Round Bagasse Dinner Plates. Smaller alternatives include our 9-Inch Bagasse Plates and 7-Inch Bagasse Plates.

Three Compartments for Better Meal Presentation

The three-section design helps organise a complete meal on one plate. It can be used to separate a larger main course from two side dishes, reducing unwanted contact between foods with different flavours or textures.

Typical meal combinations include:

• Curry with rice and vegetables
• Chicken with chips and salad
• Kebab meat with rice and coleslaw
• Roast meat with potatoes and vegetables
• Grilled fish with rice and salad
• Pasta with vegetables and garlic bread
• Burger portions with chips and salad
• Main dish with sauce and two accompaniments
• Breakfast portions with separated ingredients
• School or workplace meals with controlled portions

The sections help reduce mixing during normal handling, but they are not individually sealed. Keep the plate level and avoid overfilling with runny sauces or excessive liquid.

Suitable for Full Meals and Generous Portions

The 10-inch diameter provides plenty of room for a complete main meal. It is particularly useful for catered events, buffet service and takeaway counters where several food components need to be served together.

These plates are suitable for:

• Curries and rice dishes
• Grilled meat and vegetables
• Chicken, chips and salad
• Roast dinners
• Pasta and noodle meals
• Barbecue food
• Mixed grills
• Street-food portions
• Buffet selections
• Festival catering
• Workplace meals
• School and university catering

Suitable for Hot, Cold, Oily and Saucy Food

The moulded bagasse construction makes these plates suitable for a wider range of food than many basic paper plates. They can be used for hot meals, chilled food, oily dishes and moderately saucy portions during normal foodservice use.

The material provides useful resistance to grease and moisture, helping the plate remain firm while serving curries, grilled food, vegetables, chips, pasta, rice and buffet meals.

The plates are leak-resistant rather than completely leakproof. They should not be used for soups, drinks or large quantities of free-flowing liquid.

Strong Moulded-Fibre Construction

Bagasse fibres are moulded under pressure to create a rigid plate shape. This provides greater strength and stability than many thin disposable paper plates and helps reduce bending when carrying heavier meal portions.

For particularly heavy meals or portions containing a significant quantity of sauce, support the plate from underneath during carrying and service.

What Is Bagasse?

Bagasse is the fibrous material remaining after juice has been extracted from sugarcane. Instead of being treated only as agricultural waste, the fibres can be moulded into useful foodservice products such as plates, bowls, trays and takeaway containers.

Using moulded sugarcane fibre provides a plant-based alternative to conventional plastic and expanded-foam tableware while offering the rigidity required for professional catering and takeaway service.

Compostable Disposable Tableware

These plates are made from compostable bagasse fibre. Their ability to break down depends on suitable composting conditions, food contamination and the collection or treatment facilities available locally.

Check the disposal guidance provided by your local authority or commercial waste contractor. Compostable food packaging should not automatically be placed in conventional paper recycling unless the relevant collection provider confirms that it is accepted.

Microwave and Freezer Guidance

These bagasse plates are suitable for appropriate short-duration microwave reheating. Use heating times suitable for the food type and portion size, and check the meal regularly during reheating.

The plate and food may become hot. Use suitable hand protection and take care when removing reheated food from the microwave.

The plates may also be used for suitable freezer-storage applications. Allow sufficient space for food expansion and follow normal food-storage and defrosting procedures.

Do not expose the plates to open flames, grills or direct heating elements. Oven suitability should not be assumed unless confirmed for the specific operating temperature and application.

Storage and Handling

Store unused plates in their original packaging in a clean, dry location. Keep them away from moisture, direct heat, prolonged sunlight and strong odours.

Keep the outer packaging closed until the plates are required to help protect them from dust and accidental contamination.

Avoid overfilling the sections. Keep filled plates level during carrying and transport, particularly when serving meals containing sauces or moist ingredients.
