Sustainable Hygiene in Catering & Hospitality
Now more than ever business owners and employees are focused on providing impeccable hygiene standards to keeps their communities safe.
As many of us seek to keep our impact on the environment to a minimum, headlines across UK news outlets have highlighted the the unfortunate environmental impact of discarded single-use face masks. These among other single-use plastics have proved to be particularly harmful to both wildlife & marine life.

One intention of disposables is for hygiene purposes, but it is the damaging effects from production, use and disposal that single-use plastics have on our planet that makes them entirely unsustainable.
Fortunately, compostable packaging provides a compromise. Our hygienic, single-use products are made from sustainably sourced, annually renewable plant crops and are designed to be composted along with food waste after use. This circular economy is unquestionably much more eco-friendly than single-use plastics.
Some of our most popular ranges include;
Made from wood or CPLA, the plant-based alternatives to plastic.
Made from paperboard. We use materials from sustainably managed forests.
Made from the natural waste fibres from the sugarcane plant. The porous nature of the material allows the food to breathe.
For our coffee cups and accessories we use material originating from sustainably managed forests.
Our paper carrier bags are made from recycled paper and can be recycled again or composted after use.
Made from sugarcane bagasse, the waste fibres of the sugarcane plant.
