FAQs

Are these containers microwave safe?

Yes, bagasse containers are generally microwave-safe for reheating food, though they are primarily intended for serving and transport.

Are the lids included with the bases?

No, lids are sold separately. You must purchase them individually.

What does EN13432 certification mean?

It is the European standard for compostable packaging, guaranteeing that the item will biodegrade in a controlled industrial composting environment.

Can I use these for cold food?

Yes, they are suitable for both hot and cold food items.

What happens if I put these in a standard landfill bin?

While they are made from natural fibers, they require the specific conditions of a commercial composting facility to break down effectively.

Can I use liquid-heavy foods like soup in these?

They are designed for takeaway food. For very liquid-heavy meals, it is recommended to test the seal, as bagasse is a natural fiber and can soften if left with liquids for extended periods.

Troubleshooting

Container feels slightly damp after long transit

Ensure the container is not overfilled and that the lid is snapped on securely to allow the breathable material to vent excess steam properly.

Lid does not fit securely

Verify you are using the specific compatible lids: HW037 (bagasse) or HW038 (PET). Ensure no debris is caught in the rim of the base.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure proper function, always pair these bases with compatible lids. For the best fit and environmental consistency, use the `HW037` Fiesta bagasse lids; alternatively, the `HW038` Fiesta PET lids can be used if transparent visibility is required. Keep these containers in a cool, dry environment away from direct moisture to ensure they remain rigid prior to use. When disposing, direct these items toward your commercial compost waste stream rather than standard landfill bins to fulfill the product's environmental potential.
