Frequently Asked Questions
What is sugarcane bagasse?+

Bagasse is the fibre left over after sugarcane stalks are crushed to extract juice. Instead of going to waste, this agricultural by-product is processed into strong, rigid plates. Using bagasse reduces reliance on virgin timber and plastic while turning a waste stream into a functional product.

Do the compartments keep food fully separated?+

The compartment walls are raised and provide effective separation for most foods. Very liquid sauces in high volume may seep between compartments over time. For dishes with runny gravies, pair with a separate sauce cup.

Are these plates certified compostable?+

Yes. These plates are certified home compostable and certified industrially compostable. Home composting means they break down in a backyard compost bin without requiring industrial processing. Industrial composting via a commercial facility is also an option.

Are these plates food grade?+

Yes. These plates are food grade certified and suitable for direct contact with hot and cold food, oily foods, and wet foods. The bagasse material is naturally oil and water resistant.

What is the difference between this and the 10 inch 3 compartment plate?+

The 9 inch (230mm) has the same compartment layout as the 10 inch (250mm) but a smaller overall diameter. Use the 9 inch for standard main-and-sides portions and the 10 inch for larger or more generous meal formats.

What is your lead time for orders?+

We dispatch from our Sydney warehouse within 1-2 business days for in-stock items. Most NSW orders arrive within 2-3 business days.
