Product Description
These are Vegware's 96-Series deli pots in a 10oz size, supplied in a pack of 1000. They are manufactured from PLA — a plant-based plastic alternative derived from renewable crops — and are certified for commercial composting at the end of their life. For operators looking to reduce single-use plastic waste, they represent a practical like-for-like swap from conventional petroleum-based pots.
In day-to-day service, they work well for cold deli counters, grab-and-go stations, salad bars, and packaged takeaway portions. PLA performs reliably with cold and ambient food items, though operators should be aware it is not suited to hot liquids or foods held at high temperatures, as the material can soften. For chilled service, the pots are sturdy and adequately leak-resistant for typical deli use.
- Plant-based PLA construction — a renewable alternative to conventional plastic
- Certified commercially compostable, helping divert packaging waste from landfill
- Well suited to cold deli portions, salad, and ambient grab-and-go items
- Compatible with the Vegware 96-Series flat lid for covered presentation
- Available in a pack of 1000, practical for consistent high-volume use
Because these pots are designed for commercial composting rather than kerbside recycling, their end-of-life benefit is most fully realised where an operator has access to a commercial composting collection service. Without that infrastructure in place, the environmental advantage is reduced, though the pots remain free from conventional plastic.
These are a sensible choice for cafés, delis, contract caterers, and hospitality operators committed to reducing plastic packaging, particularly those already engaged with a commercial composting scheme. For very high-volume operations requiring a broader range of sizes or formats, Vegware's wider range includes alternative capacities worth considering.
If you are unsure which size or format best fits your service style or portion sizes, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

Frequently Asked Questions
- No — PLA is a plant-based material that can soften when exposed to heat, so these pots are intended for cold or ambient food items only. For hot applications, you would need a different material such as kraft or CPLA-lined board.
- They are certified for commercial composting, which requires the higher temperatures achieved in an industrial composting facility. Standard kerbside food waste collections do not always reach these conditions, so the composting benefit is most reliably realised through a dedicated commercial composting service.
- These pots are part of Vegware's 96-Series range, and a matching flat lid is available within that series. It is worth confirming the correct lid code when ordering to ensure a proper fit for covered presentation.
