Product Description
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
- No — PLA is a cold-use material and will distort or fail when exposed to heat. These pots are designed for cold deli applications such as salads, dips, and chilled sides. For hot or warm food service, a different material and container type would be required.
- Commercially compostable means the pots are certified to break down under the controlled conditions of an industrial composting facility — higher temperatures and specific timescales that cannot be replicated in a home compost bin. To realise this benefit, your operation needs access to a commercial food-waste or composting collection service that accepts certified compostable packaging. If you are unsure whether your current waste contractor accepts compostable packaging, it is worth confirming before switching.
- These pots are compatible with the Vegware 96-Series flat lid with no straw hole, referenced by Vegware as code FS170. If you need guidance on ordering matched lids alongside the pots, or want to confirm compatibility with other 96-Series components, the team can advise.
