FAQs

Are these bowls truly biodegradable?

Yes, these bowls are made from 100% sugarcane pulp, which is a renewable resource and is biodegradable and compostable under the right conditions.

Can I use these bowls for very hot liquids like boiling soup?

The bowls are suitable for hot foods, but caution should be exercised when handling very hot liquids. They are designed to be durable, but prolonged exposure to extreme heat can increase temperature transfer to the exterior.

How many bowls are in a pack?

Each pack contains 100 bowls.

Can I wash and reuse these bowls?

These bowls are designed for single use for convenience and hygiene. While they are durable, washing is not recommended as it can degrade the material and compromise their intended single-use purpose.

What is the capacity of these bowls?

Each bowl has a capacity of 6 ounces.

Are these bowls safe for children?

Yes, the material is food-safe and free from harmful chemicals often found in plastic alternatives.

Can these bowls be used for oily foods?

Yes, the bowls are leak-proof and suitable for oily foods. However, very prolonged exposure to large amounts of oil might eventually affect the bowl's integrity.

Troubleshooting

Bowls feel flimsy

Ensure bowls are not exposed to excessive moisture for prolonged periods before use. They are designed for immediate serving or short-term storage.

Microwave heating not uniform

Stir food halfway through reheating and allow a brief resting period. This is a general microwave best practice, not specific to the bowl's material.

Concerns about composting effectiveness

Verify that your local composting facility accepts bagasse products, or ensure your home compost conditions (temperature, moisture, aeration) are adequate for breakdown.
