Affordable non plastic containers for food and drinks delivered to your door

Products to help you safeguard the environment and protect your profits

Whether you run a catering business or are entertaining at home, you’re likely to be aware of the impact single use plastic food containers are having upon the planet. Millions of tonnes of plastic are produced every year, with the vast majority ending up in landfills or as plastic pollution in the environment. Plastic takes hundreds of years to degrade and with this in mind, something has to change.

We know that many people involved in the food and catering industry want to ditch single use plastics but finding cost-effective alternatives can be difficult. It is our aim to change this by buying in bulk, so you don’t have to. We pass on the cost savings to you, with a low-cost, convenient delivery service too. We don’t set a minimum order value so you’ll be able to order what you need and our products are clearly labelled to make recycling as easy as possible.

Our ever-growing product range includes non-plastic containers for serving and storing food such as deli pots, portion pots, pizza boxes and sandwich containers. We also supply a wide selection of non-plastic coffee cups and clear cups, wrapping film and sheets, tableware, cutlery and accessories.

How to recycle our products

To further compound the plastic problem, recycling facilities vary from area to area and this is something we are working hard to address. To make things as simple as possible for you, all our products are either biodegradable or compostable and can either be disposed of in your compost bin at home or by your local council in an industrial composter.

Industrial composting usually takes under 90 days but the process will take longer in a home composter. Biodegradable products should also be disposed of in an industrial composter and since this is something which isn’t offered by all local authorities at present, you’ll need to check the situation in your area.
