Paper Plates or Bagasse Plates?

White paper plates are a lightweight and economical option for desserts, snacks, sandwiches and light buffet food. They are particularly suitable where large quantities of simple disposable tableware are required.

For heavier, hotter, greasier or more substantial food portions, moulded bagasse plates generally provide greater rigidity and moisture resistance.

Serving and Handling Guidance

These plates are best suited to dry or lightly moist foods. Use additional hand support when carrying heavier portions or several food items on one plate.

For curries, meals containing large quantities of sauce, very oily dishes or particularly heavy portions, consider using a rigid bagasse plate or a suitable takeaway food container.

Do not use the plates for soups, drinks or other free-flowing liquids.

Storage Guidance

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

Keeping the outer packaging closed until required will help protect the plates from dust and accidental contamination.

Recycling and Responsible Disposal

Whether used paper plates can be recycled depends on the level of food contamination and the facilities available through the relevant local authority or commercial waste provider.

Clean and uncontaminated paper plates may be accepted by some recycling services. Plates heavily soiled with grease, sauce or food residue may not be suitable for paper recycling. Always follow local disposal guidance.
