Compostable products

Wooden Cutlery

Pine cutlery is the easiest cutlery product to break down and is the most competitively priced. These products can be disposed of in any composting environment, including home composting.

Compostable Plastic Cutlery

Made from plant based polylactic acid (PLA), these products can be used for hot and cold foods. They’re designed to break down in commercial composting processes.

Lined Cups

These cups have a similar look and performance to regular paper cups, but they have a thin plant-based plastic (PLA) lining instead of regular plastic lining. They break down readily in all commercial composting environments (not designed for home composting or worm farms).

Clear Plastic Cups

Made from PLA bioplastic, they look and perform similarly to PET (number 1) plastic. They are compostable in commercial composting processes.

Moulded Paper Cups

Made from recycled paper that’s non-bleached or dyed, moulded paper cups are fully compostable in any environment, including home composting and worm farms, and widely available from most packaging suppliers. 

Cup Holders

Made from recycled paper that’s non-bleached or dyed, moulded paper cups are fully compostable in any environment, including home composting and worm farms, and widely available from most packaging suppliers. 

Drinking Straws

Paper straws are made from food grade recycled paper and can be found at most packaging retailers. They’re suitable for processing through all composting environments including home composting and worm farming as they use soy-based inks and are 100% recycled paper. They’re a great option for thin drinks (not smoothies or thickshakes) and hold their shape well.

Napkin

These kraft coloured paper napkins are made from food grade recycled paper and are free of toxic dyes (preferred for composting over coloured napkins). Natural coloured napkins are widely available at packaging retailers and wholesalers and are extremely cost effective.

Clamshells

Made from sugarcane, wheat straw or paper pulp, these products are unlined and compostable in commercial processes.

Pine Boats

Pine servery is a great way of presenting tapas style or finger food. They break down easily in all commercial composting facilities, home composting and worm farming.

Bowls

Like lined plastic cups, these bowls have a single wall PLA lining – great for hot and cold foods like deli goods or icecream (preferred without lids).  They readily break down in commercial composting facilities (not suitable for a home composting or worm farms).

Paper Bags

Bags made from recycled paper that are non-bleached or dyed are a cost-effective alternative to carry-bags. They’re fully compostable in any environment, including home composting and worm farms and widely available from most packaging suppliers in flat and carry bag versions. Vendors can use water-based ink stamps to brand bags.
