Key Features

• 9" (228mm) — main course format – The right size for a full meal plate, generous buffet portion or any hot or cold dish where the plate needs to hold the food without bending or leaking

Bagasse vs Paper — The Honest Comparison

Paper plates are the right choice for ambient and cold food — sandwiches, salads, desserts and lightly warm dishes where the food won’t cause the paper to soften. For hot food — curries, pasta, fried food, anything with significant grease or sauce content — paper plates are the wrong format. The paper softens, the plate loses structural integrity, and the food ends up in the customer’s hands rather than on the plate. Bagasse handles what paper cannot: the sugarcane fibre construction is grease resistant, leak resistant and microwave safe. The trade-off is cost — at 8.8c per plate, bagasse is more expensive than paper plates. The right choice depends on the food. For hot food service, bagasse is the practical compostable option.

Dublin and Cork restaurants, hotels and event caterers use the 9" bagasse plate as their main course compostable plate for hot food service at formal events and outdoor catering. Galway and Limerick food festivals, wedding caterers and corporate event companies use it for main course dinner service and generous buffet portions where paper plates are not strong enough for the food. Food trucks and street food vendors in Belfast and Derry use it as their primary compostable plate for hot dishes at markets and events where the grease resistant construction handles fried food and saucy mains. Catering companies and event food businesses across Sligo, Donegal and Cavan use it for main course portions at events and functions where a professional, compostable plate handles hot food without compromising on sustainability.
