Price Match

These 260mm round plates from Fiesta are made from bagasse — the fibrous pulp left over after sugarcane is processed for sugar. It is a genuine agricultural by-product, which means no virgin materials are used in manufacture. The natural, unbleached finish gives the plates a neutral, organic appearance that sits well with most food presentation styles.

Bagasse has a naturally porous structure that allows steam to escape rather than condensing beneath the food. In practical terms, this means hot or moist dishes are less likely to turn soggy during service, which is a common issue with standard plastic or foam disposables. The plates hold their shape reasonably well under the weight of a normal plated meal, though they are best suited to moderate rather than very heavy or liquid-rich dishes.

  • Made from sugarcane waste — no virgin materials used
  • Commercially compostable within 12 weeks when disposed of correctly
  • Breathable structure reduces sogginess under hot or moist food
  • Natural colour suits a range of food presentation styles
  • Supplied in packs of 50, practical for event and catering use

These plates are suited to operators who need to reduce landfill waste and can access commercial composting facilities. They are commonly used at outdoor events, festivals, street food operations, and contract catering sites where a credible sustainability position matters. It is worth confirming with your waste contractor that certified commercial composting is available to you before committing, as home composting conditions are unlikely to be sufficient.

If you are weighing up disposable tableware options for a specific service format or event volume, we are happy to help you work through what makes sense for your setup.

Frequently asked questions

Can these plates go into standard food waste or general recycling bins?

No — bagasse plates require certified commercial composting facilities to break down correctly. Home composting is unlikely to reach the temperatures needed, and they should not go into general recycling. Check with your waste contractor before introducing them to your operation.

Are these plates suitable for hot food and wet dishes?

They perform well with most hot plated food, and the breathable bagasse structure helps reduce sogginess compared with solid plastic alternatives. That said, they are less suited to very liquid-heavy dishes or saucy mains where prolonged moisture contact is likely.

What service formats are these plates most commonly used in?

They are regularly used at outdoor events, festivals, street food operations, and contract catering sites where sustainability is a visible priority. They are less common in formal restaurant settings, where reusable tableware or premium disposables are more typical.
