Sauce cups fit into the kitchen workflow at the prep stage. Staff fill cups in advance during quieter periods, lid them and store in the fridge or on the pass ready for service. The PLA lining keeps sauces contained without soaking through, so cups can be pre-filled hours ahead without quality loss. This prep-ahead approach reduces service bottlenecks during peak periods and keeps the pass clean and organised.

During service, filled cups are placed directly into takeaway containers, onto plates or into delivery bags. The rigid bagasse walls mean cups stand upright without tipping, and lids click on securely to prevent spills in transit. For dine-in, open cups sit neatly alongside mains. For delivery, lidded cups travel safely inside containers without leaking onto other items. This consistency reduces customer complaints and keeps presentation standards high across every order.

At end of service, used cups go into the compost bin rather than general waste. For venues with commercial composting, this diverts waste from landfill and supports sustainability goals without adding extra sorting steps. The single-use design eliminates the need for washing, which saves water and labour compared to reusable ramekins in high-volume operations.

Traditional plastic portion cups are made from PP or PS petroleum-based plastics that persist in landfill for hundreds of years. Sugarcane bagasse sauce cups offer comparable rigidity and leak resistance through PLA lining, while being commercially compostable at end of life. The bagasse material is made from sugarcane processing waste, turning an agricultural byproduct into functional food packaging. For venues transitioning away from single-use plastics, bagasse sauce cups provide a direct swap with no change to kitchen workflows, portion sizes or staff training. The cups look and perform like traditional options while supporting sustainability commitments and meeting growing customer expectations for eco-friendly packaging.

Yes. These sauce cups are made from food-grade sugarcane bagasse with a PLA lining and are designed for direct food contact. They are suitable for sauces, dressings, condiments, dips and other food items.

No. The PLA lining creates a barrier that prevents liquids and oils from soaking through the bagasse material. Cups can be pre-filled with wet sauces, dressings and oily condiments and will hold their contents for several hours without leaking or softening.

Yes. These cups handle warm fillings including gravy, heated sauces and warm dressings. However, they are not designed for boiling liquids. For best results, allow very hot sauces to cool slightly before filling. The cups will maintain their shape and integrity with warm contents.

The 1oz sauce lid (69mm) fits the 1oz sauce cup. The 3oz–4oz sauce lid (81mm) fits the 4oz sauce cup. For the 2oz cup, check with our team for the compatible lid option. Lids are sold separately in matching carton quantities of 2,000.

The bagasse cups are commercially compostable in industrial composting facilities. The PET lids are not compostable but are recyclable. If full compostability is a priority, the cups can be used without lids for dine-in service. For takeaway and delivery where lids are essential, the PET lids should be separated and placed into recycling streams.

These cups are designed for commercial composting facilities that maintain the higher temperatures needed to break down PLA-lined products. Home compost systems typically do not reach the required temperatures. For home composting, the cups may break down over a longer period but are best directed to commercial composting or organics collection services where available.

The PLA lining provides effective leak resistance for several hours, making these cups suitable for prep-ahead workflows. Sauces, dressings and condiments can be portioned during quiet periods and held in the fridge or on the pass until service. For best results, follow standard food safety guidelines for holding times and temperatures based on the specific contents.
