FAQs

Are these plates truly compostable?

Yes, these plates are made from 100% sugarcane fiber and are biodegradable and compostable, provided they are disposed of in a commercial composting facility or a suitable home compost environment.

Can I reuse these plates?

These plates are designed for single use. While they are durable, they are not intended for repeated washing or reuse.

How many plates are in a pack?

Each pack contains 50 plates.

Are these plates safe for children?

Yes, they are made from natural materials and are safe for serving food to children. The compartments can help manage smaller portions.

Can I cut food directly on the plate?

Yes, the plates are cut-resistant and can withstand cutting with standard cutlery.

What is bagasse?

Bagasse is the fibrous residue left after sugarcane is crushed to extract its juice. It's a sustainable byproduct used to create eco-friendly tableware.

Will the compartments leak into each other?

The compartments are well-defined and designed to keep foods separate. For very liquidy items, minor transfer might occur over extended periods, but they generally perform well in keeping distinct foods apart.

Troubleshooting

Plate feels slightly damp after holding moist food

This is normal for natural fiber products with very moist foods. For best results with extremely wet foods, consider using within a shorter timeframe or ensuring food is well-drained before placing it on the plate.

Plate leaks when holding very liquidy food

While oil and water-resistant, these plates are not designed for holding large volumes of thin liquids for extended periods. For soups or broths, consider using a bowl or serving them in smaller, manageable quantities.

Plate deforms slightly in the microwave

Ensure you are only using the plates for reheating (max 2-3 minutes on medium power). Do not use for active cooking or in ovens. Avoid overcrowding the microwave.
