Troubleshooting
Plate feels weak when holding very hot or liquidy food.
For extremely hot or liquid-heavy foods served over extended periods, consider doubling up plates or using them for shorter durations to ensure maximum support. Allow very hot food to cool slightly before placing it on the plate.
Plates are damp or showing signs of degradation before use.
Ensure the plates are stored in a dry environment, away from humidity. If a plate feels compromised, it is best to discard it and use a fresh one.
Difficulty in composting.
Confirm your home composting system meets the requirements for bagasse decomposition. Ensure the plates are free from excessive grease or plastic contaminants before adding them to the compost bin. Check local composting guidelines.
