Affordable polystyrene alternative biodegradable food packaging delivered direct to your door
Plastic pollution is having a massive environmental impact, which means that we need to find sustainable packaging alternatives to polystyrene takeaway food packaging. Although alternatives are already available, they have tended to cost more and be difficult to source in realistic quantities. At Single Use Alternatives it is our aim to offer something different, with a wide range of sustainable options which are both easy to order and easy on your pocket.
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.

Our product range
Our range of eco-friendly alternatives to polystyrene packaging includes everything you need to serve food and drinks in your cafe, takeaway, events business or coffee shop, or for entertaining at home. From cups, lids and stirrers, through to deli boxes and pots, takeaway cartons, food wrap, bags and labels, our products are robust, practical and great for the planet.
Our products are all made from plants and not plastics, helping you and your customers reduce your carbon footprint. Although many of them look as though they are made from plastic, they’re either compostable or biodegradable and as such mustn’t be disposed of with other plastic recycling waste.
The compostable packaging materials we supply can be either composted by your local council with other compostable food waste (check locally), or in your garden compost bin. Please note that items composted at home will take longer to fully degrade, as the speed of the process depends on the method you use and environmental conditions.
Biodegradables are suitable for collection by some local councils who have the special industrial composting facilities required. However, because this type of facility isn’t currently available in all areas, we advise you to check with your local council first.
