Product Information

Full details

These ECONX 5 compartment bagasse plates are ideal for food service providers, event planners, and households looking for an eco-friendly disposable tableware solution. The key benefit is their sturdy, compostable design that keeps food separated and prevents leaks, offering a sustainable alternative to plastic. A potential caveat is that while they are strong, they are still disposable and may not be suitable for extremely heavy or wet items over extended periods. These plates are made from 100% sugarcane fiber, are biodegradable, water and oil-resistant, cut-resistant, microwave and freezer safe, and feature five compartments for portion control and food separation.

FAQs

Are these plates truly compostable?

Yes, they are made from 100% sugarcane fiber and are biodegradable and compostable. For best results, check with your local composting facility to ensure they accept bagasse products.

Can I reheat food in these plates?

Yes, the plates are microwave safe and will not melt or deform when heated.

How many plates are in a pack?

Each pack contains 100 plates.

Are these plates suitable for very hot liquids?

They are suitable for hot foods, but prolonged exposure to very hot liquids might eventually affect the plate's integrity. They are water-resistant but not impervious to prolonged immersion in hot liquids.

Can I use these for oily foods?

Yes, the plates are oil-resistant and are designed to handle greasy foods without leaking.

What is bagasse?

Bagasse is the dry pulpy fibrous residue that remains after sugarcane or sorghum stalks are crushed to extract their juice. It's a byproduct of the sugar industry.

Can these plates be used for outdoor events like BBQs or camping?

Absolutely. Their durability and eco-friendly nature make them an excellent choice for outdoor gatherings.

Troubleshooting

Plate feels slightly damp after storing

Ensure plates are stored in a dry environment and are not exposed to humidity. If damp, air them out before use.

Food seems to be leaking through the plate

While designed to be water and oil-resistant, very liquidy foods or prolonged contact with extremely hot, wet items might test the limits. Ensure the plate is not overloaded and consider using a second plate for very heavy or wet contents if necessary.

Plate cracked or broke when holding food

Verify the plate was not subjected to excessive force or extreme temperatures beyond its microwave/freezer safe limits. Ensure the food distribution is relatively even.
