Product Description
These hinged food containers are made from bagasse — the fibrous pulp left after sugarcane is processed — making them a fully compostable alternative to plastic or foam clamshell packaging. Each container holds 700ml and closes securely with an integrated hinge, keeping food contained during transit without requiring separate lids or additional packaging.
In a busy takeaway or catering environment, bagasse containers offer a practical middle ground between sustainability and functionality. The material handles both hot and cold food reasonably well, making it suitable for a wide range of dishes from hot mains to salads and sides. The hinged format is particularly useful where speed of service matters, as it removes the need to match separate base and lid components during a busy service period.
- Compostable to recognised standards — supports waste reduction commitments
- Integrated hinge keeps lid and base together, reducing packaging waste and service errors
- Suitable for both hot and cold food
- Pack of 250 suits moderate to high-volume takeaway and catering operations
- Natural white finish presents well for customer-facing service
These containers are single-use and intended for ambient or cool storage prior to use. They are not designed for oven reheating and are not suitable for liquid-heavy dishes where leakage could be an issue. Storage space for bulk packs is worth considering — at 250 units per pack, volume adds up quickly in a smaller kitchen or prep area.
Well suited to cafés, delis, street food operations, school or workplace caterers, and event catering where compostable packaging is a requirement or preference. If your operation runs at very high volume, it is worth considering whether a larger pack format or a heavier-gauge container better fits your throughput and handling needs.
If you are uncertain which container size or material best fits your menu and service style, our team is happy to help you work through the options.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Bagasse handles heat reasonably well and is suitable for hot food service, making it a practical choice for dishes plated directly from the stove or oven. However, these containers are not designed for oven reheating and are not intended to act as a cooking vessel — they are a service and transit packaging solution.
- Bagasse containers are designed for industrial composting rather than home composting in most cases. If your operation has a food waste or compostable waste collection service, these containers can typically be included. It is worth confirming with your waste contractor which materials their process accepts, as this varies by provider.
- At 700ml, this size works well for a generous single main course portion — pasta, rice dishes, hot mains, or a substantial salad. For smaller sides or snacks, a smaller container may be more appropriate and more cost-effective per unit. If you are packaging family-size or sharing portions, a larger format would be worth considering.
