Vegware

These Vegware kraft sandwich bags are a straightforward, compostable packaging option for operators who need a presentable, environmentally considered way to serve sandwiches, rolls, filled baps, and pastries. Made from paper with a cornstarch window, they allow the contents to be seen without relying on conventional plastic.

In a busy café, deli, or grab-and-go counter, the cornstarch window does practical work — customers can see what they're picking up, which keeps the queue moving and reduces handling. The kraft construction is sturdy enough for everyday use with cold and warm filled products alike.

• Fully compostable — suitable for commercial composting waste streams
• Cornstarch window gives product visibility without plastic
• Practical for sandwiches, rolls, wraps, and pastries
• Supplied in a pack of 1000, suited to consistent daily turnover
• Lightweight paper construction reduces packaging waste weight

These bags are a sensible fit for operators working toward compostable or single-use plastic-free packaging, particularly where a front-of-house display or counter service format is in use. They are best used with cold or warm (not hot) filled products. If your operation has higher throughput or a need for heat-sealed or grease-resistant bags, it is worth considering whether a different bag format would better suit your service style.

If you're unsure which bag format works best for your counter setup or waste management arrangements, the team is happy to talk it through.

These are single-walled hot cups from Vegware, made from sustainably sourced paper and lined with PLA — a plant-based material derived from corn starch rather than conventional plastic. At 455ml (16oz), they sit at the larger end of the standard hot drink cup range, making them a practical choice for large coffees, teas, and hot chocolates served in café, canteen, or catering environments.

The PLA lining provides adequate thermal resistance for typical hot beverage service and means the cup is fully compostable where industrial composting facilities are available. Unlike conventional cups, which are difficult to recycle due to their plastic lining, these can be processed through commercial composting schemes — a practical consideration for operators working towards waste reduction targets or sustainability commitments.

From an operational standpoint, the cups perform well in standard hot drink service. They hold their shape and integrity during normal handling, and Vegware produce matching compostable lids, which helps operators maintain a consistent, presentable offering without mixing compostable and non-compostable components.

• Compostable construction supports front-of-house sustainability messaging
• Matching compostable lids available to complete a fully compliant setup
• PLA lining avoids conventional plastic whilst maintaining cup integrity
• 16oz capacity suits large hot drinks common in café and canteen service
• Pack of 400 provides reasonable stock volume for regular service use

It is worth noting that compostability relies on access to an industrial composting facility — these cups will not break down effectively in general landfill or home compost. Operators should confirm their waste contractor can accept PLA-lined cups before committing to a full rollout.

These cups are well suited to cafés, staff canteens, contract caterers, and event operators looking to reduce plastic use in their disposable serviceware. If your volume requires a larger pack format, it is worth discussing your throughput with the team to make sure you are ordering the most practical quantity for your operation.

If you are unsure whether these fit your sustainability setup or want to check compatibility with your existing waste stream, feel free to get in touch — we are happy to talk it through.

These Vegware kraft paper sandwich bags are a straightforward compostable alternative to conventional plastic or mixed-material packaging for food-to-go operations. Made from recycled kraft paper, they are suitable for wrapping sandwiches, pastries, and similar grab-and-go items, and carry Vegware's compostable certification, meaning they can enter a commercial composting waste stream along with food waste at the end of their use.

In a busy café, deli, or takeaway environment, the bags perform well for dry and lightly dressed items. The kraft paper construction holds its shape adequately during service and gives a clean, natural presentation that suits operators who want their packaging to reflect a considered approach to sustainability. It is worth noting that heavily dressed or oily fillings may reduce the bags' suitability for recycling, though they remain compostable regardless.

• Commercially compostable alongside food waste — suitable for venues with a composting collection contract
• Made from recycled kraft paper, reducing reliance on virgin materials
• Natural kraft finish presents well for artisan or independent food-to-go brands
• Can be recycled if free from grease or oil, offering a secondary disposal route
• Pack of 1000 suits regular volume purchasing for cafés, delis, and similar outlets

From a practical standpoint, these bags work best where a commercial composting collection service is in place. Without that, the sustainability benefit is reduced, so it is worth confirming your waste contractor's capability before committing to compostable packaging across your operation. They are not suitable for wet or heavily sauced fillings if presentation or structural integrity matters during service.

These bags are well suited to cafés, sandwich bars, delis, farm shops, and similar food-to-go outlets looking to move away from plastic packaging. If your service volume is significantly higher or you require bags with grease-resistant properties, it is worth exploring whether a different specification would serve you better.

If you are unsure whether compostable packaging fits your current waste setup, or you would like guidance on the right packaging format for your operation, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

These 8oz deli pots from Vegware's 96-Series are made from PLA — a plant-based plastic alternative derived from renewable crops rather than fossil fuels. They are designed for cold deli and takeaway applications: salads, olives, dips, cold sides, and similar portioned foods that need a secure, lidded container for counter display or customer collection.

In a busy deli, café, or grab-and-go setting, these pots handle day-to-day service reliably. The PLA material is suitably rigid for cold food use and provides a reasonable resistance to leaking, which matters when customers are carrying food away. It is worth noting that PLA is not heat-tolerant — these pots are not suitable for hot foods or warm-holding applications, and they should not be used with soups, curries, or anything served at temperature.

The main operational advantage here is the composting credentials. Vegware's PLA pots are certified for commercial composting, meaning that operations with access to a commercial composting facility can divert significant volumes of single-use packaging away from general waste. This supports sustainability reporting and can contribute to waste reduction targets where composting collections are in place. Where commercial composting is not available locally, the plant-based material still represents a step away from conventional petroleum-based plastics.

• Suitable for cold deli, salad, and takeaway portioning
• Commercially compostable where appropriate facilities exist
• Compatible with the Vegware 96-Series flat lid (no straw hole)
• Plant-based PLA material, not petroleum-derived plastic
• Not suitable for hot food or warm-holding

These pots are a practical choice for delis, cafés, farm shops, catering operations, and food-to-go outlets that already have or are working towards a commercial composting waste stream. If you are unsure whether these fit your packaging requirements or want guidance on volumes and compatible lids, the team is happy to help you work through it.

These Vegware Therma paper hot food bags are designed for takeaway and grab-and-go hot food service. Made from paper with thermal properties to help retain heat during transit, they are sized to suit a range of standard hot food portions — from chips and snacks to light meal boxes — and are supplied in a pack of 500 for practical day-to-day stock management.

Vegware products are certified compostable, meaning these bags can be disposed of through industrial composting facilities alongside food waste, which can support operators working towards waste reduction targets or operating in areas with access to commercial composting collections. It is worth confirming that your local waste contractor accepts compostable packaging before committing to a composting disposal route.

From an operational standpoint, these bags work well at high service volumes — the pack size of 500 means less frequent restocking at busy counters, and the consistent sizing helps front-of-house staff work quickly during peak periods. Typical uses include fish and chip shops, street food stalls, cafés, and fast-casual restaurants serving hot takeaway items.

• Compostable construction supports operators with sustainability commitments
• Thermal paper construction helps retain heat during short-transit service
• Consistent sizing aids fast, reliable packing at the counter
• 500-unit pack reduces restocking frequency during busy service

If you are unsure whether this bag size suits your portion sizes or service style, or if you need guidance on Vegware's wider compostable packaging range, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

These Vegware sandwich platter boxes are a practical, compostable solution for presenting sandwiches, cold finger foods, and tray bakes at catered events, buffets, and hospitality settings. Each box includes a separate insert and a high-clarity PLA window lid, keeping contents visible and neatly arranged without additional wrapping or platters.

The boxes are made from renewable paperboard with a plant-based PLA lining, which prevents moisture transfer and leakage from cold, lightly dressed fillings. The laminated construction holds up well through typical event service periods without the base softening or losing its shape. Assembly is straightforward, which matters when you're setting up large numbers for a function.

• Commercially compostable — suitable for food waste streams at certified composting facilities
• PLA-lined base prevents moisture seeping through during service
• Clear lid allows guests to identify contents without lifting or disturbing the display
• Flat-pack format keeps storage footprint manageable in prep and back-of-house areas
• Lower carbon footprint during production compared to conventional plastic alternatives

These are worth considering for outside catering operations, sandwich delivery, and event buffets where single-use presentation is required and waste reduction is a priority. It's worth confirming with your waste contractor that commercially compostable packaging can be accepted at your local facility, as collection infrastructure does vary across the UK.

If you're unsure which format suits your service style or volume, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

These Vegware domed lids are designed to fit the 115-series cold food pots in both 350ml and 455ml sizes. Made from PLA — a plant-based plastic alternative derived from renewable sources — they are fully compostable through an industrial composting facility. The domed profile provides clearance above the contents, making them well suited to cold food portions where a flat lid would compress or disturb the product.

In a commercial setting, these lids are commonly used alongside cold dessert pots, chilled yoghurt or ice cream portions, and similar grab-and-go cold food items. They form a secure fit with the corresponding pot, helping to keep contents stable during display or transit without the need for separate cling film or foil covers.

For operators looking to reduce single-use plastic across their disposables range, PLA alternatives such as these offer a practical step — provided the waste stream supports industrial composting collection. It is worth confirming with your waste contractor before committing to a full switch, as composting outcomes depend on correct segregation and access to appropriate facilities.

• Fully compostable through industrial composting facilities
• Suitable for cold food service — desserts, yoghurt, chilled portions
• Domed profile accommodates taller or loosely filled contents
• Reduces reliance on single-use petroleum-based plastics
• Supplied in quantities suited to regular service volume

If you are planning a broader move to compostable packaging across your operation, or want to check compatibility with other Vegware pot sizes in your current setup, the team is happy to help you work through what fits your service style.

These Vegware PLA pint to brim cups are cold drink cups made entirely from plant-based PLA (polylactic acid), a renewable material derived from crops rather than fossil fuels. Supplied in the 96-Series format and marked UKCA, UKNI, and CE, they are compliant for free-pour service in the UK and across relevant European markets.

In a busy drinks or food service operation, the practical case for compostable cups centres on waste management. These cups are accepted by commercial composting facilities, breaking down within 12 weeks under the right conditions. For operators who already have a commercial composting collection in place — or who are working towards one — this makes diverting cup waste from landfill straightforward. The clear PLA material also presents cold drinks well, which matters in counter or takeaway service where appearance contributes to perceived quality.

Key operational points worth considering:

• UKCA, UKNI, and CE marked — compliant for UK and EU free-pour service
• Plant-based PLA material, commercially compostable within 12 weeks
• Clear material suits cold drinks presentation at point of sale
• Supplied in cases of 1,000, practical for moderate to high volume service
• No specialist equipment required for use — standard lid compatibility applies

PLA cups perform well with cold drinks but are not suited to hot beverages. If your service involves both hot and cold drinks, you will need separate cup stock for hot applications. It is also worth confirming that your waste contractor accepts compostable PLA before switching from conventional plastic cups, as not all local collection services do.

These cups are well suited to cafés, bars, event caterers, and food-to-go operations looking to reduce single-use plastic in their cold drinks service. For very high-volume sites, it is worth discussing case quantities and storage requirements to make sure supply keeps pace with demand. If you have questions about integrating compostable packaging into your current service setup, the team is happy to talk it through.

These Vegware domed cold cup lids are designed to fit the 96-series range of Vegware compostable cold cups in both 12oz and 16oz sizes. The raised dome profile provides clearance for whipped cream, soft-serve toppings, and layered cold drinks, allowing cups to be lidded and handed out without disturbing the presentation.

Made from PLA — a plant-based plastic derived from renewable crop starch — these lids are commercially compostable and will break down within 12 weeks when sent to an appropriate composting facility. For operators already running a compostable packaging programme, they integrate straightforwardly into an existing waste stream.

In practical front-of-house use, the lids work well on iced coffees, cold brew, blended drinks, and any cup requiring headroom above the rim. The domed format is a common choice in café and quick-service settings where drinks are built with cream or decorative toppings and need to travel safely to the customer.

• Reduces packaging waste for operators committed to composting schemes
• Dome clearance protects toppings during handover and takeaway
• Compatible with Vegware's 96-series compostable cold cups (sold separately)
• Lightweight PLA construction keeps pack weight low for storage and handling
• Pack of 1000 suits medium to high-volume service without frequent reordering

Worth noting: commercial composting facilities are required to break these down within the stated timeframe — standard kerbside food waste collections are not always suitable. Operators should confirm their waste contractor accepts PLA before switching from conventional plastic lids.

These lids suit cafés, coffee shops, quick-service restaurants, and event catering operations looking to move away from oil-based plastics without changing their existing cold cup format. If your service volume is particularly high or you use a different cup series, it is worth checking compatibility before ordering in bulk.

If you have questions about fitting these into a broader compostable packaging setup, our team is happy to talk it through.

These flat lids from Vegware are designed to fit the 185-Series wide Bon Appetit bowl range and are made from PLA — a clear, plant-based plastic derived from renewable resources. The material behaves similarly to conventional plastic in use, but unlike standard petroleum-based plastic, PLA is accepted at commercial composting facilities, making it a practical choice for operators looking to reduce landfill waste from their food-to-go offering.

In a busy service environment, the crystal-clear finish allows the contents — salads, grain bowls, chilled desserts — to remain fully visible, which supports presentation without any additional effort. The flat profile keeps stacking neat and makes them straightforward to dispense at pace during busy periods. Supplied in cases of 300, the pack quantity suits operations running consistent volume rather than occasional use.

• Commercially compostable PLA material — suitable for certified composting facilities
• Clear finish keeps food presentation visible through the lid
• Flat profile stacks efficiently, reducing counter clutter
• Plant-based material reduces reliance on conventional petroleum plastics
• Pack of 300 suited to regular, volume food-to-go service

It is worth confirming before committing to compostable packaging that your waste contractor or local authority accepts PLA at a commercial composting facility. Acceptance varies by region, and without access to appropriate composting infrastructure the environmental benefit is reduced — though the material remains a more sustainable choice than standard plastic in any case.

These lids are well suited to cafés, delis, workplace catering, and grab-and-go counters serving chilled or ambient food in bowls. If your operation uses a different bowl size or requires a vented or domed lid profile, it is worth checking compatibility before ordering in quantity. The team are happy to help confirm the right lid and bowl pairing for your service format.

These Vegware kraft paper sandwich bags are a straightforward compostable alternative to conventional plastic or non-recyclable packaging for food-to-go operations. Made from recycled kraft paper, they are accepted for commercial composting alongside food waste, and can also be recycled where they remain free from grease or oil contamination.

In a busy sandwich bar, café, or deli environment, packaging needs to be practical as well as presentable. The kraft paper material handles everyday use reliably — wrapping sandwiches, rolls, pastries, and similar items — and the natural appearance suits counter and grab-and-go presentation well. The bags won't hold up to heavily sauced or wet fillings without some grease transfer, so operators with particularly moist products may want to consider lined alternatives.

• Commercially compostable with food waste, diverting packaging from landfill
• Recyclable when clean and free from grease or oil
• Made from recycled kraft paper, reducing virgin material use
• Suitable for sandwiches, rolls, pastries, and similar dry-to-moderate fillings
• Natural kraft finish suits counter and food-to-go presentation

These bags are well suited to cafés, delis, sandwich counters, and any food-to-go operation looking to move away from conventional single-use packaging. They are sold in packs of 1,000, which works well for moderate to high-volume sites. Lower-volume operations may find a smaller pack quantity more practical to manage storage and stock rotation.

If you are putting together a compostable packaging range or are unsure which bag format best suits your menu, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

These Vegware kraft panini bags are a straightforward solution for serving paninis, wraps, and similar hot items over the counter or at a grab-and-go station. Each bag is made from two layers of sustainably sourced paper with perforations that allow steam to escape, helping food stay hot without turning soggy. The kraft construction is fully compostable, making them a practical choice for operators looking to reduce single-use plastic waste in their front-of-house disposables.

In a busy café or snack service environment, bags like these need to hold up reliably through a lunchtime rush without tearing or losing their structure. The double-layer paper construction offers reasonable durability for hand-held service, and the perforated design means the food inside is less likely to lose its texture during the short hold between preparation and the customer's hands.

• Compostable and made from sustainably sourced kraft paper
• Perforated design allows steam release to maintain crispness
• Suitable for paninis, toasted wraps, and similar hot handheld items
• Arrives in a pack of 500, suited to regular daily service volumes
• Lightweight and easy to store at point of service

These bags are best suited to cafés, sandwich counters, workplace canteens, and similar operations with consistent hot food service. A pack of 500 will suit a moderate-volume site comfortably; higher-volume operations may want to consider bulk ordering to maintain stock levels during peak periods.

If you're unsure whether these suit your service setup or you're looking to standardise your disposables range, the team is happy to help.

Vegware's compostable paper knives are a single-use cutlery option designed for operators who need to reduce plastic waste without switching to conventional wooden or CPLA alternatives. Each knife is constructed from nine layers of laminated and pressed paper, producing a utensil that is light in hand but stable enough for everyday use with hot or cold food.

In service, these knives perform well across a broad range of dishes — from cold deli and salad offerings to warm casual meals. The pressed paper construction holds up adequately under normal use, though it is worth noting that they are best suited to lighter cutting tasks rather than dense or heavily textured proteins. The smooth, white finish presents cleanly on trays, in cutlery stations, or in pre-wrapped sets.

Key practical points for operators:

• Made from paper — fully compostable where certified industrial composting facilities are available
• Suitable for both hot and cold food service
• Smooth mouthfeel with no rough edges or splinters, unlike some wooden alternatives
• Lightweight and easy to handle for front-of-house or self-serve stations
• Pack of 1000 suits high-turnover service periods without frequent restocking

These knives are a practical fit for cafés, street food vendors, event caterers, university refectories, and any operation with a genuine commitment to reducing single-use plastic. They are less suited to operations serving dishes that require firm cutting pressure. If your service model demands a more robust utensil, it is worth considering heavier-gauge alternatives before committing to volume.

If you are reviewing your disposables range or moving towards a fully compostable service, we are happy to talk through what works in practice.

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.

These are the Vegware No.8 paperboard food boxes — rigid, single-use cartons made from sustainably sourced card and designed for operators who want a compostable alternative to conventional plastic takeaway packaging. Each box holds 1300ml, making them well suited to generous main-course portions, grain bowls, salads, and hot food dishes where a secure, structured container matters.

In service, the boxes perform reliably for both hot and cold food. The grease-resistant lining handles oily or sauced dishes without the box softening or leaking, which is a common failure point with lesser-quality compostable packaging. For busy sites moving high volumes of covers through a takeaway or delivery operation, the rigidity of the carton helps maintain presentation from kitchen to customer.

• Fully compostable in commercial composting facilities — suitable where a food waste collection scheme is in place
• Grease-resistant lining performs well with sauced, oily, or hot dishes
• Rigid paperboard construction maintains shape during service and transit
• Sustainably sourced card — a practical step towards reducing single-use plastic packaging
• Consistent format across a pack of 300 supports efficient stocking and portioning

It is worth noting that compostability depends on access to a commercial composting facility. These boxes will not break down in standard household composting or general waste. Operators considering these as part of a broader sustainability commitment should confirm their waste contractor accepts food-soiled compostable packaging before switching.

These boxes are a practical choice for cafés, canteens, food-to-go concepts, street food operations, and any kitchen running a takeaway or delivery service at moderate to high volume. Sites with lighter packaging requirements may find a smaller format more economical; higher-volume operations may want to review case quantities to reduce restocking frequency.

If you are reviewing your packaging across multiple formats or want to confirm these fit your operation's waste management setup, the team is happy to help you work through it.

These paper forks from Vegware are made from nine layers of laminated and pressed paper, producing a lightweight single-use fork that holds its shape across a reasonable range of food types. They are designed as a compostable alternative to CPLA and wooden disposable cutlery, and are suitable for both hot and cold dishes including salads, pasta, and light hot meals.

In a catering environment, paper cutlery of this kind is commonly used at food festivals, street food events, workplace canteens, and takeaway counters where operators are looking to reduce plastic waste or meet compostability commitments. The forks perform adequately for most standard portion types, though they are not designed for dense or heavily sauced dishes that require sustained cutting force.

• Compostable construction — suitable for industrial composting waste streams
• Works with both hot and cold food service
• Embossed white finish presents cleanly on food counters and trays
• Lightweight and straightforward to handle during high-volume service
• Supplied in a pack of 1000, practical for busy or high-footfall operations

As a single-use item, these forks require no washing facilities and help simplify waste management where a certified compostable waste stream is in place. It is worth confirming with your waste contractor that paper laminate cutlery is accepted in your local compostable collection before committing to large volumes.

If you are unsure whether paper, CPLA, or wooden cutlery is the better fit for your service style or waste setup, the team is happy to talk it through.

These are compostable paper lids designed to fit Vegware's 79-Series range of hot cups. Made from sustainably sourced paper with a bio-based, moisture-resistant lining, they are a straightforward replacement for conventional plastic lids in a takeaway or counter hot drinks service.

In a busy café, canteen, or front-of-house setting, disposable lids go through stock quickly. A pack of 1000 gives reasonable run-time for most operations without constant reordering, and the pull-back tab design means customers can drink without removing the lid — a practical detail that reduces spills during service.

From an operational standpoint, switching to compostable packaging is increasingly expected by customers and, in some local authority areas, required under sustainability policies. Key practical points worth noting:

• Compostable to industrial standards — requires commercial composting facilities, not general waste or home composting
• Moisture-resistant lining maintains integrity under normal hot drinks use
• Pull-back tab reduces lid removal and the associated mess at service points
• Sold in cases of 1000, keeping storage straightforward for most operations

These lids are specifically sized for the 79-Series cup range. If you are running a different cup size or sourcing cups from another manufacturer, confirm the series sizing matches before ordering — lid and cup compatibility is the most common source of frustration with disposables procurement.

Well suited to cafés, workplace canteens, catering companies, and any operation running a takeaway or deskside hot drinks service where compostable packaging is part of the brief. If you are putting together a full compostable cup setup and want to confirm compatibility across your current cup stock, feel free to get in touch before placing a larger order.

These 12oz double wall hot cups from Vegware are a compostable alternative to conventional disposable cups, made from sustainably sourced paper and lined with plant-based PLA rather than petroleum-based plastic. Supplied in a pack of 500, they are a practical choice for cafés, coffee shops, canteens, and any catering operation serving hot drinks on a volume basis.

The double wall construction traps a layer of air between the two layers of paper, which provides enough insulation to keep drinks at temperature for a reasonable period without the need for a separate cardboard sleeve. Customers can hold the cup comfortably without a sleeve, which also reduces the amount of secondary waste generated at the point of service.

From an operational standpoint, switching to compostable cups can support a site's waste management commitments where access to industrial composting facilities exists. It is worth noting that Vegware cups are certified compostable but require industrial composting conditions — they will not break down reliably in home compost bins or general waste streams. Operators should confirm that a suitable collection or composting service is available before committing to this format at scale.

• Reduces reliance on petroleum-lined conventional disposable cups
• Double wall design eliminates the need for a separate cup sleeve
• Plant-based PLA lining suitable for hot drink service
• Pack of 500 suits regular volume purchasing for busy outlets

These cups are well suited to coffee shops, café bars, event catering, and staff canteens where sustainability credentials matter to the operation or its customers. If you are unsure whether compostable packaging fits your current waste disposal setup, our team are happy to talk it through.

These are the moulded fibre sip-through lids designed to pair with Vegware's 79-Series hot cups. Made from CPLA — a plant-based, commercially compostable material — they are intended for operators who want their entire hot drinks presentation, cup and lid, to sit within a single compostable waste stream.

In a busy counter service or grab-and-go environment, lid consistency matters. These lids fit securely onto Vegware's 79-Series double-wall cups and carry a moulded 'Caution Hot' message, which is a straightforward safety detail that removes the need for separate warning stickers on individual drinks. For sites turning over high volumes of hot drinks during peak service, having a reliable lid that seats properly first time reduces handling time at the counter.

• Commercially compostable where accepted facilities exist
• Sip-through design suitable for takeaway hot drinks service
• Moulded 'Caution Hot' text for customer safety compliance
• Compatible with Vegware 79-Series double-wall cups
• Pack of 1000 suits regular restocking cycles for busy sites

It is worth confirming that your local waste contractor accepts CPLA alongside food-soiled compostables before committing to a compostable serviceware programme. Commercial composting facilities are not universally available, and the environmental benefit depends on correct end-of-life disposal. These lids are not suitable for cups outside the 79-Series range.

Well suited to cafés, coffee shops, contract caterers, and hospitality operations running a compostable packaging policy. If your service volume requires a different pack format or you are building out a broader compostable drinks range, our team are happy to talk through what fits your operation.

These lids are part of Vegware's Bon Appetit range — a mix-and-match system of paperboard food bowls and matching lids designed for operators who want a presentable, functional, and compostable service solution. Each lid is made from paperboard with a plant-based PLA lining and includes venting to manage steam during hot food service. They are sized to fit the corresponding Bon Appetit bowls in the 185 series range.

In practice, the PLA lining makes the lid leak-resistant and capable of handling food served up to 85°C, which covers most hot counter and takeaway applications — soups, stews, curries, and similar dishes. The vents prevent pressure build-up under the lid, which matters when hot food is covered for even a short period during service or transit. The same construction handles cold applications equally well, so they work across a mixed menu without needing separate lid stocks.

Key practical points for operators:

• Compostable at commercial composting facilities along with food waste
• PLA lining provides leak resistance for liquid-based hot dishes
• Vented design manages steam from hot food without lifting or warping
• Compatible with the Vegware 185-series Bon Appetit bowl range
• Paperboard and PLA construction uses renewable plant-based materials

The main practical consideration is composting infrastructure. These lids are certified for commercial composting, not home composting or standard kerbside collection. If your local authority or waste contractor does not collect for commercial composting, the environmental benefit is reduced, though the materials remain plant-based rather than fossil-fuel derived. It is worth confirming your waste stream before switching fully to compostable packaging.

These lids are well suited to cafés, casual dining operations, food-to-go counters, staff restaurants, and event catering where a consistent, compostable packaging system is a priority. For very high-volume sites processing hundreds of covers per service, it is worth considering whether bulk pack sizes better suit your storage and workflow.

If you are building out a compostable packaging range or want to check compatibility with your current bowl stock, our team is happy to talk it through before you commit to a quantity.

These 8oz Vegware hot food pots are a compostable alternative to conventional plastic-lined disposable pots, designed for hot food service in cafés, canteens, street food operations, and similar catering environments. Each pot is constructed from sustainably sourced paperboard with a plant-based PLA lining in place of the petroleum-based coatings used in standard pots.

In a busy service environment, the pots perform as you would expect from a standard hot food container — they hold their shape and handle heat without compromising in normal use. The PLA lining provides the necessary moisture and grease resistance for typical hot food portions. They are not designed for prolonged holding of very wet or heavily sauced dishes, so operators running longer hold times may wish to consider their specific use case.

The practical case for switching to these pots centres on waste management as much as materials. Because they are certified compostable, they can be diverted from landfill through an industrial composting waste stream — a meaningful operational change for sites working towards reducing their environmental impact or meeting sustainability targets set by venue owners, local authorities, or corporate clients.

• Plant-based PLA lining replaces petroleum-based plastic coatings
• Sustainably sourced paperboard construction
• Fully compostable via industrial composting facilities
• Suitable for hot food service across café and catering use
• Available in a bulk pack of 1000 to suit regular service volumes

It is worth noting that industrial composting infrastructure is required to realise the composting benefit — these pots will not break down in home compost bins or general waste. Operators should confirm their waste contractor offers an industrial composting collection before committing to a compostable packaging programme.

These pots are well suited to cafés, canteens, event caterers, and street food operators who already have, or are moving towards, a compostable waste stream. If your service volumes or portion sizes call for a larger or smaller format, it is worth reviewing the range before ordering in bulk.

If you are unsure whether these pots fit your current waste setup or portion requirements, we are happy to help you work through it.

These 340ml hot food pots from Vegware are designed as a compostable alternative to standard plastic-lined disposable pots. Each pot combines a sustainably sourced paperboard outer with a plant-based PLA lining, making the whole unit suitable for industrial composting rather than landfill disposal.

In a busy food service environment, the practical difference from a conventional pot is minimal — they hold hot food securely, perform reliably during service, and handle the same range of hot dishes you'd expect: soups, stews, curries, pasta, rice-based dishes, and similar. The PLA lining provides sufficient heat resistance for standard hot food holding and service temperatures.

The main operational advantage is waste stream management. Where a site already has, or is working towards, an industrial composting collection arrangement, switching to these pots means hot food packaging is diverted away from general waste. That can simplify waste disposal, reduce landfill costs over time, and support sustainability commitments that many operators — particularly in contract catering, education, and healthcare — are increasingly required to demonstrate.

• Fully compostable at industrial composting facilities within 12 weeks
• PLA lining suitable for hot food service use
• Paperboard sourced from sustainably managed materials
• A practical alternative to plastic-lined single-use pots
• Pack of 500 suits regular service volumes without frequent reordering

It is worth confirming that your waste contractor accepts industrially compostable packaging before committing to volume orders, as collection infrastructure varies across UK regions. These pots are not suitable for home composting.

If you are reviewing your overall disposables range or have questions about compostable packaging for a particular service style, we are happy to help you think it through.

These Vegware microflute boxes are a practical takeaway packaging solution for operators running food-to-go, street food, or delivery services. Constructed from corrugated microflute board with a compostable inner coating, they provide a rigid, heat-tolerant container that holds its structure whether the contents are hot or cold. The hinged lid includes a perforation that allows customers to detach it cleanly at the point of eating — a small detail that matters at busy counters.

In service, the fluted construction provides useful insulation, helping to retain food temperature during short delivery runs or while sitting in a hot cabinet awaiting collection. The boxes are lightweight enough to handle at pace but firm enough not to collapse under a generous portion of curry, fried food, or a loaded burger. They suit a wide range of food types, which makes them a reliable single-format option where operators prefer to standardise packaging.

• Compostable construction — certified for commercial composting, supporting waste reduction
• Suitable for use in hot cabinets without deformation
• Hinged lid with tear perforation for easy customer removal
• Handles hot and cold food without leaching or structural failure
• Supplied in a pack of 300, suited to regular-volume food-to-go operations

These boxes are certified compostable, which is increasingly relevant for operators working towards commercial composting agreements or local authority waste schemes. It is worth confirming with your waste contractor that compostable packaging is accepted in your collection stream before committing to volume purchasing.

The 6x5" format suits individual portions and works well for street food events, café counters, and takeaway units. Operators with higher throughput or larger portion sizes may find a bigger format more practical. If you are setting up a new packaging range or rationalising across multiple menu items, the team is happy to talk through what works in practice.

These Vegware half pint cups are made from PLA — a plant-based material derived from renewable resources — and are designed for cold drinks service in commercial and catering environments. They carry UKCA, UKNI, and CE marks, confirming they are legally compliant for free-pour service in the UK and across applicable markets. The pack quantity of 2100 is suited to operations running a consistent volume of cold drinks throughout the day.

In a busy drinks service — whether that is a café counter, a hospitality bar, or a grab-and-go outlet — the clarity of the cup matters. PLA offers good transparency, which means cold drinks, smoothies, and iced beverages are presented clearly without the opaque appearance of some alternative materials. That is a practical consideration for any outlet where visual presentation influences the customer experience.

From an operational standpoint, the key advantage of PLA cups over conventional plastic is end-of-life handling. These cups are certified for commercial composting and will break down within 12 weeks under the right composting conditions. For operators working towards waste reduction targets or supporting a composting scheme on-site or through a waste contractor, this provides a credible, compliant route away from landfill.

• UKCA, UKNI, and CE-marked — compliant for free-pour cold drinks service
• Commercially compostable, supporting waste diversion schemes
• Good clarity — suitable for cold drinks where presentation matters
• Bulk pack quantity reduces restocking frequency in high-volume outlets
• Plant-based PLA reduces reliance on fossil-fuel-derived plastics

It is worth noting that commercial composting requires access to an appropriate industrial composting facility. Home composting is not suitable for PLA. Operators should confirm their waste contractor can accept certified compostable packaging before committing to a switch across their full drinks range.

These cups are well suited to cafés, casual dining outlets, event catering, and any operation with an active sustainability policy. If you are uncertain whether the half pint size fits your range, or you need guidance on integrating compostable packaging across your drinks service, our team is happy to help you work through the options.

These flat lids are designed to fit Vegware's 90-Series hot food pots in both 170ml (6oz) and 230ml (8oz) sizes. Made from CPLA — a heat-tolerant bioplastic derived from cornstarch — they are suitable for use with hot contents such as soup, porridge, and pasta, where a standard cold-drink lid would distort or fail under temperature.

In a takeaway or grab-and-go setting, a reliable lid fit matters more than it might seem. A lid that seals poorly creates spillage risk in transit and reflects poorly on the outlet. These lids are produced to consistent tolerances for the 90-Series pot, so fit is predictable across a full service period without needing to trial and adjust.

• CPLA construction tolerates hot food contents without warping
• Flat profile keeps the stack compact for counter and pass storage
• Sized specifically for 90-Series 170ml and 230ml pots for reliable fit
• Compostable via commercial composting facilities where available
• Supplied in a pack of 1,000, suited to consistent daily volume

These lids are compostable through industrial composting routes, which is worth confirming with your local waste contractor before making a commitment. Home compostable they are not — CPLA requires the higher temperatures of a commercial composting facility to break down correctly. If your site is working towards a closed-loop waste system, it is worth ensuring the whole packaging format, pot and lid together, goes through the same waste stream.

Well suited to cafés, canteens, hospital catering, and any operation running a hot soup or porridge offer as part of a takeaway or grab-and-go format. If your volumes are lower or you need a domed cold lid for chilled desserts, there are alternative lid formats within the Vegware 90-Series range worth considering.

If you are building out a compostable packaging format across your menu and want to make sure the components work together, we are happy to talk it through.

The Vegware Nourish range is a moulded fibre plate made from reclaimed sugarcane, designed to meet the latest UK and EU commercial composting certification standards. These 7" plates have a natural oatmeal finish and are intended for single-use food service where a fully compostable disposal route is in place.

In practice, moulded fibre plates in this format are commonly used across cafés, event catering, staff canteens, and casual dining operations where operators want a disposable option that holds up better than a standard paper plate without resorting to plastic or polystyrene. They handle hot and cold dishes without softening quickly, and the 7" diameter suits side dishes, snacks, breakfast plates, and lighter mains comfortably.

The main operational advantages over lower-grade disposables include:

• Sturdier construction than paper plates — less flex under loaded food
• More presentable than polystyrene in front-of-house or outdoor settings
• Certified for commercial composting, supporting waste diversion from landfill
• Natural finish that presents neutrally alongside most food types
• Supplied in a pack of 500, suited to regular volume use

The key practical consideration is the disposal route. These plates are certified for commercial composting, not home composting or standard recycling. Operators need an active commercial composting collection service for the sustainability credentials to be realised. Without that infrastructure in place, the benefit over conventional disposables is limited.

These plates are well suited to caterers, event operators, and food businesses already running a commercial compostable waste stream, or those looking to establish one. If you are unsure whether the format or pack size fits your service volumes, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

These are Vegware's 96-Series 16oz cold cups, made entirely from PLA — a plant-based bioplastic derived from renewable resources. Each cup holds 455ml and is certified for commercial composting, breaking down within 12 weeks in an appropriate composting facility. They are designed as a direct replacement for conventional plastic cold cups in food-to-go, drinks service, and takeaway operations.

In a busy service environment, PLA cold cups perform much like standard plastic cups for cold drinks — they hold their shape and integrity when used with chilled beverages, smoothies, slushies, and cold desserts. The material has good clarity, which means the contents remain visible and presentable. It is worth noting that PLA is not suitable for hot drinks or prolonged exposure to heat, so these cups should not be used for warm beverages or left in direct sunlight for extended periods.

The practical case for switching to compostable cups tends to come down to a few factors:

• Plant-based PLA material certified for commercial composting
• High clarity keeps drinks presentation clean and appealing
• Compatible with the full Vegware 96-Series lid range, including flat and domed options
• 1,000-unit pack suits regular volume without frequent reordering
• Supports waste diversion goals where a commercial composting collection is in place

One practical consideration worth raising: commercial composting requires access to an appropriate collection or processing facility. If your site does not have a compostable waste stream in place, these cups will go to general waste rather than compost — which limits the environmental benefit. It is worth confirming your waste collection arrangements before committing to compostable packaging across your operation.

These cups are well suited to cafés, juice bars, food-to-go counters, and event catering operations that already handle, or are building, a compostable waste stream. For lower-volume sites, smaller pack formats may be available within the same range.

If you are looking to align your full drinks service with compostable packaging or have questions about cup and lid compatibility, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

These Vegware flat lids are designed to fit the 115-series range of compostable hot food pots in both 350ml and 455ml sizes. Made from CPLA — a plant-based material derived from renewable sources — they are produced as a direct alternative to conventional oil-based plastic lids, suitable for operators looking to reduce single-use plastic across their packaging line.

CPLA performs well with hot food service. The material handles the heat of soups, porridge, stews, and similar menu items without deforming, which makes these lids practical for counter service, grab-and-go outlets, and takeaway operations where hot pots are sealed at point of service. They sit flat on the pot rather than doming, keeping the overall pack profile low for stacking and bagging.

• CPLA construction tolerates hot food contents without distortion
• Fits Vegware 115-series compostable hot food pots in both sizes
• Certified compostable within 12 weeks at a commercial composting facility
• Plant-based material from renewable sources — no oil-derived plastics
• Supplied in a pack of 500 to suit regular service volumes

From a waste management perspective, these lids are certified compostable, meaning they can be diverted from landfill provided a commercial composting facility is accessible. It is worth confirming your local authority or waste contractor accepts food-contact compostable packaging before switching, as not all commercial composting collections take CPLA. Where the correct waste stream is in place, they offer a straightforward way to support a more sustainable packaging policy.

These lids are well suited to cafés, school canteens, hospital catering, and event caterers already working with compostable packaging. For very high-volume operations ordering daily, it is worth discussing case quantities and ongoing supply with us to ensure continuity of stock.

If you are building out a compostable packaging range or want to check compatibility with your existing pot sizes, we are happy to help you work through the options.

These are the purpose-matched lids for Vegware's 62-Series 4oz espresso cups, supplied in cases of 2000. Made from CPLA — a plant-based material derived from renewable sources — they are designed to sit securely on the cup for hot drinks or hot savoury sauces served to go. The no-hole design suits espresso, hot chocolate, and similar hot-serve items where a sealed lid is appropriate. The off-white finish carries embossed Vegware messaging, giving a consistent appearance at point of service.

CPLA performs more reliably with hot contents than standard PLA, holding its shape under normal hot drink temperatures without the distortion risk that can affect less suitable materials. In a takeaway or café environment running through high volumes of cups per service, having lids that fit consistently and without fuss matters more than it might seem — mismatched or poorly fitting lids create small but persistent problems at the counter.

• CPLA construction — plant-based and commercially compostable where infrastructure allows
• No-hole lid design suits espresso, hot chocolate, and hot savoury sauces to go
• Purpose-matched to the 62-Series 4oz cup for dependable fit across the full case
• Off-white with embossed Vegware branding for a clean, considered front-of-house finish
• Case quantity of 2000 suits high-turnover café and food-to-go operations

It is worth confirming that your local authority or waste contractor accepts commercially compostable packaging before committing to a compostable serviceware programme. Composting infrastructure varies considerably across the UK, and the environmental benefit depends on correct end-of-life handling.

These lids are well suited to cafés, coffee shops, and food-to-go operations already using Vegware's 62-Series cup range. If you are building out a compostable packaging programme or want to confirm compatibility across your current cup range, the team is happy to help you work through the details.

These are Vegware's 8oz double wall kraft coffee cups, designed as a fully compostable alternative to conventional single-use cups. Rather than the polyethylene lining found in standard disposable cups, these use a plant-based PLA lining derived from renewable sources. Both the paper and the lining are compostable, meaning the finished cup breaks down through industrial composting rather than going to landfill.

The double wall construction does two things in a service environment: it provides a reasonable degree of insulation so customers can hold the cup comfortably without a sleeve, and it adds enough rigidity to reduce the risk of collapse under normal use. For busy counter or kiosk service, that practical durability makes handling quicker and reduces waste from damaged cups.

From an operational standpoint, switching to a fully compostable cup can simplify your waste stream if you already have access to a food waste or compostable collection. Key practical points worth considering:

• PLA-lined — accepted by many industrial composting facilities, though not suitable for home composting
• Double wall design reduces the need for additional cup sleeves in most situations
• Sold in 500s, suited to medium-to-high-volume hot drinks service
• Printed with compostability messaging, which can support customer-facing sustainability communication
• Compatible with standard 8oz lids from the Vegware range

These cups are well suited to cafés, coffee shops, food-to-go counters, festival catering and event operations where compostable waste disposal is in place. It is worth confirming your local waste contractor accepts PLA-lined cups before committing to a large stock order, as acceptance does vary. For lower-volume operations, smaller pack sizes may be more practical.

If you are unsure whether these fit your current waste disposal setup or service volume, the team are happy to help you work through the options.
