Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Brighton Buffet Co., a popular coastal caterer in Brighton, needed to move away from traditional plastic platters to align with their sustainable ethos and  meet growing customer demand for greener options.

"Our clients have really noticed the switch. We constantly get comments on how professional the new platters look, and  the fact they're compostable is a huge selling point. They're surprisingly strong and  hold up perfectly during delivery, which was our biggest concern."

David Chen – Owner

Since making the switch, the business has reduced its single-use plastic waste by over 90% and  has seen a 15% increase in corporate bookings, attributed to their enhanced green credentials.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Using Your Platters

  • Assembly is a doddle – simply fold along the pre-creased lines to form the base.
  • These are designed for cold foods like sandwiches, salads, and  cakes to ensure they stay in top condition.
  • Fill with your delicious creations before securing the lid, which fits snugly over the base.
  • The sturdy design makes them easy to stack for transport or storage in the fridge.

Proper Disposal

  • These large compostable food trays with lid are certified for commercial composting.
  • After use, dispose of them in a dedicated food waste/compostable packaging bin.
  • Check with your local waste collection service about their commercial composting facilities.
  • Keeping them out of landfill allows them to break down properly into nutrient-rich compost.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Disposable Platters

Not sure which platter is right for your menu? Here are a few things to keep in mind.

Consider Your Eco-Goals

If sustainability is a core value, look for fully compostable options made from renewable materials like paperboard and  PLA.

Size Matters

Match the platter size to your typical orders. A large platter is perfect for buffets, but smaller options may be better for individual lunches.

Presentation is Key

A platter with a clear window, like these Vegware ones, allows your food to sell itself, boosting appeal and  showing off freshness.

Check for Sturdiness

For delivery or takeaway, you need a rigid platter with a secure lid that won't collapse or spill. A PLA lining adds strength and  leak-resistance.

Ease of Assembly

In a busy kitchen, time is money. Look for platters with simple, pre-creased folds that can be assembled in seconds.

What is PLA Lining and  Why Does It Matter?

Ever wondered how these cardboard platters handle dressings and  fillings without turning into a soggy mess? The secret is the PLA lining. PLA, or Polylactic Acid, is a bioplastic made from renewable plant resources like corn starch. Think of it as a clear, waterproof raincoat for the platter, but one that the planet can naturally break down after use.

Unlike traditional plastic coatings which are made from oil, the PLA lining is 100% commercially compostable. This means it provides the fantastic leak-proof performance you need to keep your food fresh and  protected, without compromising your commitment to sustainability. It's the clever bit of science that lets you have the best of both worlds: a reliable product and  a happy planet.
