Who we are
Single Use Alternatives was founded by Adrian and Neil; two brothers who are passionate about enjoying the outdoors and caring for the environment. Concerned about the impact single use plastics are having upon the environment, we decided to offer a range of cost effective high quality, alternative products.

Practical alternatives to single use plastics
We know that many catering and takeaway businesses rely upon having a convenient supply of single use disposable items such as disposable plates, cups, cutlery and straws. However, items such as these either end up in landfill or as plastic pollution in the environment.
Thanks to worldwide publicity, more of us are aware of the problems being caused by plastic. Since plastic was first manufactured, over 8 billion tonnes have been produced. To compound the problem further, most is made for just one use before being thrown away. As plastic can take up to 400 years to fully degrade, the need for sustainable alternatives is clear.
However, although eco-friendly alternatives are available, they have tended to cost more and can be difficult to source in realistic quantities. This is where we aim to help by offering a dedicated range of affordable sustainable alternatives to single use plastic catering disposables.
Sustainable biodegradable plates delivered direct to your door
We have the UK’s most comprehensive website, with over 400 products made from plant based materials instead of oil based plastics. The products we supply are practical and robust, making them ideal for packaging everything from hot meals, drinks and oily foods, through to cakes, sandwiches and fresh produce.
You’ll find that our range of compostable or biodegradable plastic plates and bowls includes palm leaf plates, trays and platters. In addition, we also supply a range of items made from 100% biodegradable Origo, a starch based bio-plastic, and items manufactured from recycled sugar cane fibre which is an eco-friendly alternative to polystyrene.
To ensure that making the switch to sustainable catering supplies is as simple as possible, we’ve designed our website to be user-friendly, mobile first and fully-secure. We don’t set a minimum order value so you’ll be able to order in quantities which are right for you, whether you need 100 biodegradable plastic plates or 1000s. Lastly, we offer convenient UK-wide delivery, with a next day delivery service available if required.
