• Curries with rice
• Grilled chicken and vegetables
• Burgers with chips or salad
• Mixed grills
• Pasta and noodle dishes

• Street-food portions

Suitable for Hot, Cold, Oily and Saucy Food

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

They are particularly useful for dishes such as curries, rice meals, grilled meats, vegetables, pasta, burgers, chips and mixed buffet portions.

Although the plates provide effective resistance to grease and moisture, they are not sealed containers. They should not be used for drinks, soups or large quantities of free-flowing liquid.

Stronger Than Standard Paper Plates

Bagasse plates are manufactured by moulding sugarcane fibres into a rigid shape. This gives them greater strength and stability than many thin paper plates, helping reduce bending when carrying heavier meals.

For best handling, support the plate from underneath when carrying particularly heavy portions or meals containing a substantial amount of sauce.

What Is Bagasse?

Bagasse is the fibrous material remaining after juice has been extracted from sugarcane. These fibres can be formed into foodservice products such as disposable plates, bowls, trays and takeaway containers.

Using this plant-based material helps provide an alternative to conventional plastic and expanded-foam tableware while maintaining the strength required for professional food service.

Compostable Disposable Tableware

These plates are made from compostable bagasse fibre. Composting performance depends on suitable environmental conditions, food residue and the collection or processing facilities available locally.

Check the guidance provided by your local authority or commercial waste contractor before disposing of compostable food packaging. Do not automatically place used bagasse plates in conventional paper recycling unless your collection provider confirms that they are accepted.

Microwave Reheating Guidance

These bagasse plates are suitable for appropriate microwave reheating. Use short heating periods suitable for the food being served and check the plate regularly during use.

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

Do not expose the plates to open flames, grills or direct heating elements.

• Restaurants and takeaways
