Papstar disposable square sugarcane plates "pure" model 89745 are single-use plates made from pressed bagasse (sugarcane fibre). Measuring 260 x 260 mm, each plate offers a flat, sturdy surface suitable for serving a variety of hot and cold dishes. The plates are compostable and designed to withstand microwave reheating, providing an eco-friendlier alternative to conventional disposable tableware for events, catering and outdoor use.
Advantages
These sugarcane plates combine rigidity and lightweight handling, resisting bending under typical portions while remaining easy to stack and transport. Compostable material reduces landfill waste compared with fossil-based disposables, and microwave suitability allows safe reheating of food without transferring synthetic coatings or plastic taste. Their neutral appearance fits a wide range of table settings and catering styles.
Suitable for
- Buffets, catering events and party service
- Outdoor gatherings and picnics where disposable tableware is preferred
- Office lunches, food stalls and takeaway portions
- Serving both hot and cold dishes including reheating in microwave
When it may not be suitable
These plates are intended for single use and commercial composting or home composting where facilities accept bagasse products; they are not designed for long-term storage of very moist or oily foods for extended periods. Extreme mechanical stress or cutting directly on the plate may damage the surface and reduce performance.
