Clear pots: rPET (100 % recycled plastic) or PLA bioplastic; opaque bowls: bagasse pulp or paperboard lined with PLA. All are plant‑based or widely recyclable.

Our bagasse and paper pots are plastic‑free; rPET pots use recycled plastic and PLA pots use plant‑based bioplastic.

Yes – certified EN 13432 for industrial composting; they break down in 12 weeks under commercial conditions.

rPET can be rinsed and placed in standard mixed‑plastic recycling.

PLA and rPET pots remain crack‑free down to –18 °C; bagasse bowls also tolerate freezing.

Bagasse bowls are microwave‑safe; paper‑PLA bowls handle brief reheats. rPET and clear PLA pots are for cold food only.

Matching lids create a tight snap‑fit that are leak proof.

1 oz (25 ml), 2 oz (50 ml), 3 oz (75 ml), 4 oz (100 ml) and 6 oz (150 ml). All round pots share either a 60 mm or 74 mm lid for SKU simplicity. 4 oz, 8 oz, 12 oz and 16 oz round pots plus 2‑compartment options.

Lids are sold separately so you can choose flat, dome or hinged styles; see each product’s “Compatible” tab.

Send with food waste to an industrial composter; if none is available, place in general waste – it will still break down without micro‑plastics.

Bagasse will break down in 8–12 weeks in a well‑managed home heap; PLA requires higher temperatures found only in commercial sites

PP/PET/rPET: rinse & recycle; PLA: send with food waste to an industrial composter (or general waste if none); bagasse/paper: home‑compost or recycle if clean.

Fibre‑based and rPET items comply with 2023 single‑use plastic bans; PLA is exempt as a compostable bioplastic.

rPET pots contain ≥ 30 % recycled content so avoid PPT; virgin PP versions are taxable—ask us about rPP upgrades.

The 2023 ban targets polystyrene; PP, PET/rPET, PLA and bagasse pots are all compliant.

From 2025 fibre and high‑recycled‑content packs sit in the lowest EPR bands—switching to bagasse or rPET can cut future costs.
