Made from plant-based bagasse, molded fiber, kraft paper, PLA, and paper, our bowls are produced for restaurants, catering kitchens, meal-prep operations, and grocery prepared-food programs. Stocked sizes include 11.5 oz, 12 oz, 16 oz, 18 oz, and 24 oz.

What sets our bowls apart

  • Hot-, cold-, and freezer-rated. Bagasse and PLA-fiber bowls handle the full kitchen-to-customer temperature range without softening or cracking.

Certifications and compliance

Every SKU on this page is BPI (US), EN 13432 (EU), and ASTM D6400 certified for industrial composting. Material formulations use only plant-derived feedstocks — no PFAS, no oxo-degradables, no fossil-plastic intermediates. Our certificate trail back-references the same factory the products ship from, so procurement and compliance teams can verify chain-of-custody from compounding through finished goods.

OEM, private label, and bulk orders

Stock SKUs ship by the case from finished-goods inventory; printed and OEM runs go through art-file proofing, plate or digital setup, and quality control before release. Standard MOQ is around 5,000 units for printed orders, with cost efficiency improving steeply at 10,000+ units and full-pallet or container volumes. Lead time is typically 4–6 weeks after artwork approval, plus ocean freight for international shipments.

Frequently asked questions about bowls

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.

Are they freezer-safe for meal prep?

Yes — bagasse and fiber bowls withstand standard meal-prep freezer storage (-18°C / 0°F).

What sizes have lids?

All standard sizes. See our compostable lids range.

OEM and custom printing?

Yes — branded printing on bowls available from 5,000-unit MOQ.
