Compostable Soup Bowls

Compostable Soup Bowls are the workhorse SKU for restaurants and catering. Pure Compostables manufactures the full range from plant-based bagasse, molded fiber, kraft paper, PLA, and paper. Stocked sizes include 11.5 oz, 12 oz, 16 oz, 24 oz, and 32 oz.

What sets our soup bowls apart

  • Hot-, cold-, and freezer-rated. Bagasse and PLA-fiber bowls handle the full kitchen-to-customer temperature range without softening or cracking.
  • Stack-stable. Sized for prep-line dispensers; rims match our compostable lids range.
  • Cut-resistant fiber. Molded plant fiber bowls don’t tear under standard catering volumes.

OEM, private label, and bulk orders

Standard sizes ship from inventory; OEM, ODM, and private-label runs with custom dimensions and branded artwork ship factory direct from our Shenzhen facility. Print methods include flexo (volume-cost efficient at 10,000+ units), digital (short-run / multi-SKU / seasonal artwork), and embossing (premium-positioned items). All inks are food-safe and either water-based or UV-cured — both compost end-to-end.

Frequently asked questions

Are these bowls microwave-safe?

Bagasse and molded fiber bowls are microwave-safe; pure PLA bowls are not (PLA softens above ~110°F).

Will hot soup leak?

No — molded fiber bowls hold liquid up to ~220°F without softening, and lid seals are designed for to-go transport.
