Product Information
Full details
The Caterpack Enviro Range Plates are designed for environmentally conscious consumers and event organizers seeking a sustainable alternative to traditional plastic disposable tableware. Their key benefit is being 100% biodegradable and compostable, reducing landfill waste. A minor caveat is their suitability primarily for single use, as is common with disposable paper products. These 18cm plates are crafted from high-density sugar cane pulp, offering a strong, rigid structure that resists sogginess and crumbling, even with hot foods and liquids. They are also safe for microwave use and can be stored in the freezer, making them versatile for various food service needs.

Troubleshooting
Plate feels less rigid than expected.
Ensure the plates have been stored in a dry environment. Excessive moisture can affect the rigidity of paper-based products.
Plate shows signs of leakage with very hot liquids over extended periods.
While designed to be strong, prolonged exposure to extremely hot liquids may eventually affect integrity. For such cases, consider using a double plate or a thicker alternative if available.
Concern about composting.
These plates are certified compostable. For optimal composting, ensure they are free from excessive grease or non-compostable food waste before disposal in a commercial or home composting system.
