Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Harbour View Deli in Penzance wanted to eliminate single-use plastics from their takeaway service to better reflect their commitment to protecting the local Cornish coastline. They switched from their old plastic-lined pots to the Vegware GH027 compostable food pots for their popular seafood chowder.

"Our customers have been so positive about the change. They love knowing the packaging won't end up polluting our beaches, and  the pots are fantastic – they hold the heat for ages and  don't leak a drop. It's a win-win."

Samuel Jones – Owner

Since making the switch, the deli has reported a significant reduction in their general waste costs and  a noticeable increase in positive online reviews mentioning their eco-friendly approach.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Getting Started

  • Store packs in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain their integrity.
  • Keep the plastic wrap on the sleeve of pots until you need them to keep them clean.
  • Stack them near your service point for quick and  easy access during busy periods.
  • Make sure you have a stock of the compatible 90-Series lids (sold separately) ready to go.

Best Practices

  • Only use for food and  drinks with a temperature at or below 85°C.
  • Never place these pots in a microwave or a conventional oven.
  • Advise customers to dispose of them in a food waste bin destined for commercial composting.
  • Remember these are single-use items designed to be composted, not reused.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Takeaway Containers

Not sure what packaging is best for your grub? Here’s a quick guide to help you pick the perfect pot.

Material Matters

Your menu dictates the material. Soups and  sauces need a leak-proof lining like the PLA in these pots. For drier goods, a simple card box might do. Always match the packaging to the food.

Portion Control is Key

Match your container size to your serving portions. These 8oz pots are brilliant for sides, soups, or desserts, helping you manage costs and  reduce food waste effectively.

Check the Temperature Rating

Always check if a container is suitable for hot food. These are rated to 85°C, making them perfect for most hot takeaway items, but not for reheating in an oven.

Lid Compatibility

There's nothing worse than a leaky lid. Always double-check you're buying the correct, compatible lids for your chosen containers to prevent spills and  keep food fresh.

Wear Your Eco-Credentials

Customers love a green business. Choosing packaging that is clearly marked as 'compostable' or 'recyclable' shows you care and  can be a real selling point.

What is PLA Lining and  Why Does It Matter?

Ever wondered how a paper pot can hold hot soup without turning to mush? The secret is a clever little feature called a PLA lining. PLA, or Polylactic Acid, is a bioplastic made from plant starch, like corn. Think of it as a thin, waterproof, and  completely natural raincoat on the inside of the pot. It creates a barrier that stops liquids and  grease from seeping through, ensuring your food stays securely inside. Unlike a traditional plastic lining made from oil, the PLA lining is designed to break down along with the paper pot in a commercial composter, turning back into soil in a matter of weeks. It’s the magic that makes these eco-friendly food packaging pots both high-performing and  planet-friendly.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Street Food Stalls & Pop-Ups: An ideal, sturdy solution for serving portions of chilli, mac 'n' cheese, or curries to customers.
  • Dessert Parlours & Gelaterias: A brilliant, eco-friendly way to serve single or double scoops of ice cream, sorbet, or frozen yoghurt.
  • Cafés & Delis: The perfect vessel for your soup of the day, hearty morning porridge, or individual side salads.
  • Farm Shops & Caterers: Great for packaging individual portions of homemade sauces, dips, and  pâtés for retail sale.
