Disposable Plates, Bowls and Trays

These are single-use paper food bowls from Vegware's 185 Series, sized at 26oz and supplied in packs of 300. They are lined with PLA — a plant-based bioplastic derived from renewable sources — which provides the liquid resistance needed for wet foods such as dressed salads, soups, porridge, and grain bowls. The paper construction and PLA lining mean the bowls are certified for commercial composting, allowing operators to divert post-consumer waste from landfill where the appropriate collection infrastructure is in place.

In a busy food-to-go or grab-and-go environment, these bowls perform reliably for cold and ambient dishes. The PLA lining holds up well against dressings, sauces, and light broths during a standard service period, though it is worth noting that PLA is not designed for prolonged contact with very hot liquids — operators serving hot soups or stews over extended holding periods should verify suitability with their Vegware supplier or consider an alternative product. For cold salad bars, breakfast bowls, and ambient street food service, they are a practical and well-suited choice.

• Plant-based PLA lining resists leaks from dressings and light sauces
• Commercially compostable where certified composting collections are available
• Pack of 300 suits moderate-to-high volume food-to-go operations
• Suitable for cold, ambient, and lightly warm food service
• Supports waste reduction and sustainability reporting requirements

There are no installation requirements — these are disposable serviceware items that require only appropriate storage space. Being supplied in 300s, pack consumption should be monitored against service volume to avoid stock-outs during busy periods. If your operation requires composting to be a genuine end-of-life route, it is worth confirming that a certified commercial composting collection operates in your area before committing, as kerbside collections rarely accept PLA-lined materials.

These bowls are well suited to cafés, delis, street food traders, workplace catering, and event caterers where food-to-go is a core part of the offer and there is a genuine commitment to reducing single-use plastic waste. For very high-volume operations, it is worth considering whether a larger pack format or higher-capacity bowl size would better suit your throughput.

If you are unsure whether this bowl size and lining type are the right fit for your specific menu, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

1/1GN A one way chrome plated tray with embossed edge. 530 x 325mm

These Colpac open-ended food trays are a straightforward paperboard serving solution designed for handheld street food and grab-and-go items. The open-ended format allows longer products — hot dogs, baguettes, paninis, corn dogs — to be seated securely in the tray and passed to customers quickly, without the need for additional wrapping or bags.

In practice, these trays are well suited to fast-paced counter service where speed of handoff matters. Staff can load and serve in a single motion, which keeps queues moving during peak periods. The natural kraft finish gives a clean, unfussy presentation that sits comfortably alongside artisan or street food branding without requiring additional packaging.

• Open-ended design suits long or irregularly shaped food items
• Kraft board construction handles light moisture from sauces and condiments
• Natural finish suits street food, market stalls, and casual dining formats
• Compostable at industrial composting facilities in under 16 weeks
• Pack of 500 suits regular volume without frequent reordering

On the environmental side, these trays are made from recycled kraft paperboard and are certified compostable under industrial composting conditions. That means they can be separated from general waste and sent to an appropriate facility rather than to landfill — a consideration for operators working toward waste reduction commitments or subject to landfill tax. It is worth noting that home composting is not applicable here; industrial composting infrastructure is required for the compostability claim to hold.

These trays are a practical fit for street food traders, festival and event caterers, pub food counters, school canteens, and any operation serving handheld food at volume. If your menu items are shorter or more varied in shape, a closed-lid container or a different tray format may serve better — it is worth considering what you are serving before committing to a case quantity.

If you are unsure which packaging format suits your service style or volume, the team is happy to talk it through.
