A wide range of eco-friendly Vegware plates and cutlery. Made from the dry fibrous residue left once sugar cane has been pressed for juice, these plates and bowls are pressed into shape in a high-heat, high-pressure process. Our \"plastic\" cutlery meanwhile is made from a recycled plant-based PLA which are super low carbon.
Founded in 2006 by Joe Frankel, Edinburgh-based company Vegware is the UK's first and only compostable food packaging company. Vegware products are compostable which is much better than biodegradable. Biodegradable materials break down naturally over time, but 'compostable' means it all happens much quicker - between 8 and 12 weeks in the right conditions. Not only does composting your disposables save the planet - but its saves money too. With landfill charges going up every year with Vegware you can access the Food Waste Network who will match you up with a food waste recycler.
