Paper Plates or Bagasse Plates?

White paper plates are a lightweight and economical choice for sandwiches, buffet food, snacks, cake and lightly filled portions. They are particularly useful when large quantities of simple disposable tableware are required.

For very hot, heavy, oily or heavily sauced food, moulded bagasse plates generally provide greater strength, rigidity and resistance to moisture.

Serving and Handling Guidance

These plates are recommended for dry or lightly moist food. Support the plate from underneath when carrying heavier portions or several food items.

For curries, meals containing significant quantities of sauce, very oily dishes or substantial main courses, use a rigid bagasse plate or a suitable takeaway food container.

These plates are not intended for soups, drinks or other free-flowing liquids.

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 contractor.

Clean and uncontaminated paper plates may be accepted by some recycling services. Plates heavily soiled with grease, sauces or food residue may not be suitable for conventional paper recycling.

Do not describe these plates as compostable unless certification for this specific product has been confirmed by the manufacturer.

Storage Guidance

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

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