Papstar PAPSTAR Zuckerrohr-Menü-Tray "pure" 5-compartment compostable sugarcane tray, white (MPN 89881)

Papstar PAPSTAR Zuckerrohr-Menü-Tray "pure" is a white, 5-compartment disposable tray made from renewable sugarcane fiber and designed to be compostable. The tray provides separate compartments for main courses, sides and sauces while using a plant-based material as an alternative to conventional plastic or coated paper. It is intended for single-use applications in catering, take-away and event service where separation of foods and simple cleanup are required.

Advantages

The tray combines a neutral white appearance with a rigid, moisture-resistant structure derived from pressed sugarcane fiber. Being compostable, it reduces reliance on petroleum-based disposables and supports waste streams compatible with industrial composting. Its five compartments help prevent cross-contamination of flavours and maintain portion control during transport and presentation.

Suitable for

• Serving multi-component meals in catering and canteens
• Take-away and delivery of complete menus with sides and sauces
• Outdoor events, festivals and food stalls where disposable service is required
• Single-portion meal prepacking for meal prep or institutional catering

When it may not be suitable

The sugarcane tray is designed for single-use catering situations and is not intended for long-term storage or repeated reuse. It may not perform as well with very high-moisture, long-duration liquid storage or with oily, highly acidic foods that can affect fiber-based items over extended periods.

Key specifications

• Material: molded sugarcane (bagasse) fiber, uncoated
• Colour: white
• Compartments: five separate sections for main and side portions
• End of life: industrial compostable under appropriate conditions
• Intended use: disposable food tray for single-serve meals and menu portions

How to use

Place food portions into each compartment, taking care to use the larger section for the main course and smaller sections for sides and condiments. The tray is suitable for cold and warm foods; avoid exposing it to direct open flames or prolonged heating. After use, dispose of the tray according to local composting or organic waste guidelines for biodegradable foodservice items.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm local composting infrastructure accepts industrially compostable bagasse products
• Evaluate portion sizes to ensure the five compartments meet your serving requirements
• Check compatibility with any necessary lids or carriers if transport protection is required

Usage recommendations

For best results, use the tray for immediate service or short-term transport of plated meals. Keep wet and oily components separated where possible and route used trays to industrial composting facilities or certified organic waste collection to realize environmental benefits.
