Product Description
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes — CPLA is heat-resistant and handles typical hot food service temperatures without deforming, making it appropriate for soups, porridge, stews, and similar menu items. They are not designed for oven or microwave use, so food should be portioned and sealed at point of service.
- To realise the composting benefit, you will need access to a commercial composting facility that accepts food-contact compostable packaging. Home composting and standard food waste collections will not break down CPLA correctly, so it is worth confirming your waste contractor's acceptance criteria before committing to a full switch.
- These lids are designed specifically for the Vegware 115-series hot food pots in 350ml and 455ml capacities. If you are unsure whether your existing pots fall within the 115-series range, get in touch and we can confirm compatibility before you order.
