Product Information

Full details

The Caterpack Enviro Range 12oz Bowls are designed for eco-conscious consumers and businesses seeking a sustainable, durable alternative to traditional disposable tableware. Their key benefit is providing a strong, leak-resistant, and compostable option for serving hot and cold foods, suitable for parties, events, and daily use. A minor caveat is that while super rigid, extreme prolonged saturation might affect integrity, though significantly less than standard paper alternatives. These bowls are made from high-density sugar cane pulp, ensuring they are 100% biodegradable and compostable, microwave and freezer safe, and strong enough for liquids and hot foods without becoming soggy.

FAQs

Are these bowls truly compostable?

Yes, the Caterpack Enviro Range bowls are made from 100% sugar cane pulp and are certified compostable, meaning they will break down naturally in commercial composting facilities.

Can I reheat food in these bowls in the microwave?

Yes, these bowls are microwave safe, allowing you to reheat food directly in them. Ensure food is heated evenly and exercise caution when removing the hot bowl.

How do they perform with very greasy foods?

The sugar cane pulp construction provides good resistance to grease, maintaining the bowl's integrity better than standard paper alternatives.

What is the capacity of these bowls?

Each bowl has a capacity of 12 ounces (approximately 355 ml), suitable for standard meal portions or desserts.

Can these bowls be used for cold foods and desserts?

Absolutely. They are suitable for both hot and cold foods, including ice cream, salads, soups, and stews.

What is the main environmental benefit of using these bowls?

The primary benefit is their biodegradability and compostability, which significantly reduces landfill waste and the reliance on plastic or non-recyclable paper products.

Are these bowls suitable for parties and events?

Yes, they are an excellent choice for parties, weddings, BBQs, and outdoor events due to their durability, eco-friendliness, and convenience for easy cleanup.

Troubleshooting

Bowl becomes slightly soft with prolonged very hot liquid immersion.

While designed for hot foods, avoid leaving extremely hot liquids in the bowl for extended periods (e.g., several hours). For such use cases, consider a shorter consumption time or a reusable alternative. However, for typical meal durations, they perform exceptionally well.

Bowl arrived damaged or deformed.

Inspect the packaging upon delivery. If bowls are damaged, contact the point of purchase for a replacement or refund, as this indicates an issue during shipping or handling.
