FAQs

Can these plates be put in a home compost bin?

These are designed for commercial composting facilities. While they are natural, they require the high-heat conditions of industrial composting to break down within the stated 12-week timeframe.

Are these plates microwave safe?

Yes, they are safe for use in microwaves, allowing you to reheat food directly on the plate.

What is bagasse made of?

Bagasse is a fibrous byproduct of sugarcane stalks after the juice has been extracted, making it a highly sustainable material.

Can they go in the freezer?

Yes, the material is freezer-safe, making it suitable for storing food items at low temperatures.

How many plates are in a pack?

Each pack contains 50 plates.

Troubleshooting

Plates feel soft or flimsy.

Ensure they are stored in a dry environment; bagasse is fibrous and can absorb moisture from the air if left in damp storage.

Food is leaking through the plate.

Bagasse is breathable by design and not intended for prolonged contact with soups or heavy liquids. Use for drier food items or consume shortly after serving.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

No specialized setup is required; these plates are ready to use straight from the packaging. To maintain quality, store the pack in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight and excessive humidity to prevent the material from softening before use. While they are microwave and oven-safe, avoid prolonged exposure to direct flames or temperatures exceeding typical oven settings. After use, dispose of the plates in a designated food waste or commercial composting bin to ensure they are processed correctly according to local recycling regulations.
