Compostable Tableware

Pure Compostables manufactures tableware for foodservice, catering, events, and hospitality programs. Material formulations are built around bagasse, bamboo, and molded fiber. Stocked sizes include 2 oz, 3 oz, and 6 oz.

What sets our tableware apart

Premium event-grade finish. Smooth-edge molding gives bagasse plates and trays a finish closer to porcelain than disposable.
Cut-resistant under catering volumes. No tearing under steakknife or carving-table conditions.
Heat- and cold-rated. Same SKU works hot-bar and cold-bar service.

Who buys our tableware

Event-volume orders by case or pallet. Premium finish matters for branded hospitality.

Hotels & hospitality groups

In-room dining, conference center, banquet — large repeat orders with custom-branded options.

Foodservice operators

Daily disposable for cafés, food halls, and grab-and-go programs.

Certifications and compliance

Compostability claims are backed by certification from BPI, TUV Austria, DIN CERTCO, and (where applicable) ABA for Australia and New Zealand. We test against ASTM D6400 — 90% biodegradation in 180 days, full disintegration in 84 days, ecotoxicity, and heavy-metal limits — before any SKU ships. Our team holds the certificates internally and can supply documentation on request.

OEM, private label, and bulk orders

Our OEM and ODM workflow runs in parallel to stock SKU sales. You send vector artwork (PDF/AI) at print resolution; we return a digital proof for sign-off. For flexo runs, a physical match-print proof goes out before plates are committed. Lead time is typically 4–6 weeks from final artwork approval through production. We document spec sheets, certificates of analysis, and chain-of-custody for compliance.

Frequently asked questions about tableware

Will bagasse plates leak under wet food?

Bagasse has natural oil and moisture resistance; no leaks under standard service conditions including saucy and oily foods.

Are these dishwasher-safe for re-use?

No — disposable single-use only. Plates and tableware are designed for compost end-of-life, not multi-wash cycles.

Can I get custom-branded tableware?

Yes — surface printing or embossing available on OEM runs from 10,000-unit MOQ.
