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 dishes, oily food and moderately saucy portions during normal foodservice use.
The plate provides effective resistance to grease and moisture, helping it remain firm while serving curries, grilled meats, pasta, rice, vegetables and buffet meals.
Although the plate is moisture resistant, it is not a sealed container. It should not be used for soups, drinks or large quantities of free-flowing liquid.
Strong Moulded-Fibre Construction
Bagasse fibres are moulded into a rigid plate shape, providing greater strength and stability than many thin disposable paper plates. This helps reduce bending when carrying heavier food portions.
For particularly heavy meals or dishes containing a significant quantity of sauce, support the plate from underneath while carrying it.
What Is Bagasse?
Bagasse is the fibrous material remaining after juice has been extracted from sugarcane. The fibres can be moulded into foodservice products such as plates, bowls, trays and takeaway containers.
Using this renewable plant fibre provides an alternative to conventional plastic and expanded-foam tableware while maintaining the strength required for professional catering and takeaway service.
Compostable Disposable Tableware
These plates are made from compostable sugarcane fibre. Their ability to break down depends on suitable composting conditions, food residue and the collection or processing facilities available locally.
Check the disposal guidance provided by your local authority or commercial waste contractor. Compostable bagasse products should not automatically be placed in conventional paper recycling unless the relevant collection service confirms that they are accepted.
Microwave Reheating 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.
Both the food and plate may become hot. Use suitable hand protection and take care when removing the plate from the microwave.
Do not expose the plates to open flames, grills or direct heating elements.

- Restaurants and takeaways
