Product Description
These Vegware domed lids are designed to fit the 170ml (6oz) and 230ml (8oz) cold food pots in the Vegware range. Made from PLA — a plant-based compostable plastic derived from renewable sources — they are intended specifically for cold food applications such as ice cream, frozen yoghurt, cold desserts, and chilled snacks. The domed profile provides clearance for toppings or garnishes without compressing them during transit or display.
In a busy service environment, lids like these do straightforward but important work: they keep cold items contained, presentable, and hygienic from point of preparation through to the customer's hands. The PLA material is clear, which allows customers to see the product without opening the lid — a practical advantage for grab-and-go counters, market stalls, or self-serve dessert stations.
- Clear PLA construction for product visibility without opening
- Domed profile accommodates toppings and garnishes cleanly
- Fits both 170ml and 230ml Vegware cold food pots
- Compostable via industrial composting facilities
- Supplied in a pack of 1,000, suited to regular high-volume use
One practical consideration worth noting: PLA-based compostable packaging requires industrial composting to break down properly — it will not compost in a standard home compost bin, and it should not be placed in standard recycling streams. If your operation is working towards a compostable waste stream, it is worth confirming that your waste contractor can handle PLA before committing to this format across your menu.
These lids are well suited to cafés, dessert bars, event caterers, and any operation serving cold portions in individual pots where a sustainable packaging solution is a priority. For operators with higher throughput or different pot sizes, other formats within the Vegware range may be more appropriate.
If you are building out a compostable packaging setup across your operation and want to make sure the components work together, we are happy to help you work through the options.

Frequently Asked Questions
- No — these are cold food lids designed for use with chilled or frozen products such as ice cream and cold desserts. PLA is not suitable for hot food applications as it can distort at elevated temperatures. Vegware produce separate hot lids for their soup and hot food pot range.
- PLA compostable packaging requires industrial composting to break down — it is not suitable for home composting bins and should not go into standard plastics recycling. Before adopting this format, it is worth confirming with your waste contractor that they accept PLA as part of a compostable stream.
- These lids are sized to fit the Vegware 170ml and 230ml cold food pot range. Compatibility with pots from other suppliers is not guaranteed, as lid and rim dimensions vary between manufacturers. If you are mixing packaging from different suppliers, it is advisable to test fit before ordering in volume.
