Cost effective alternatives to single use plastics
If you run a catering or takeaway food business, the chances are that you rely upon a cheap, convenient supply of single use plastic items such as cups, straws and food bags. However, thanks to increased public awareness of the problems caused by plastic pollution, more and more of us are making the switch from single use plastic items to sustainable alternatives. Nevertheless, despite our concern for the environment, finding cost-effective, realistic replacements for single use disposables can be difficult. With this in mind, we offer a wide range of eco friendly packaging for food and drinks, designed to be comparable in cost to plastics and easy and convenient to buy.
You’ll find that our products can be comparable in cost to similar plastic items but are designed to be easy to recycle. Our website is secure and mobile friendly, helping to make it quick and easy to order the things you need. In addition, we don’t set a minimum order value so you can order in realistic quantities, whether that’s 100’s or 1000’s, with a range of competitive UK-wide delivery options including next day delivery if required.
How our products should be recycled
Alongside cost and convenience, we also believe that easy recycling is important. Our products are either compostable or biodegradable and are labelled so you’ll know how to dispose of them after use.
Compostable products can be disposed of at home in your compost bin or by your local council in an industrial composting facility. Composting takes up to 90 days but will take longer in a home compost bin.
Biodegradable products can be recycled by some local councils in special industrial composters, however this facility isn’t yet available everywhere so please check the situation in your area first.

Eco friendly boxes and packaging that doesn’t cost the earth
When you consider that the majority of plastic that’s ever been produced still exists in some form, and that most of the plastic manufactured is made for just one single use, something has to be done and fast.
Our product range is designed to offer a wide selection of affordable alternatives, available for convenient, cost-effective delivery direct to your door. From compostable food wrap and sustainable boxes, through to plastic free cups and cutlery, we supply everything you need to run your food business.
