Products

 

All of our packaging is made from natural, renewable plant materials. Our most popular packaging materials include;

Sugarcane Bagasse - The natural waste fibres from the sugarcane plant. Used for our hot food takeaway packaging, plates and bowls.

PLA (Polylactic Acid) - The naturally occurring plant starch derived from crops such as corn which is processed into a bio-polymer material commonly known as PLA. Used to make our range of cold drinks cups, lids, straws, deli containers and salad containers. It is also used to make the internal lining in our coffee cups and soup containers.

CPLA / RCPLA - Made from the same material as PLA but with added heat resistance properties. Used to make our cutlery as well as coffee and soup cups lids. RCPLA is recycled CPLA - our plant starch cutlery is made from the recylcled off-cuts from the CPLA lids.

Sustainable Forest Source - We only use material originating from sustainably managed forests. Used in our paper and paperboard products such as coffee cups, Kraft takeaway cartons, bakery bags and sandwich wedges.

Recycled Paper - Our products made from recycled paper and pulp include paper carrier bags, coffee clutches and coffee cup carriers. They can also be recycled again or composted after use.
