Compostable Plates: Everything You Need to Know Before Switching
How about serving your favorite version of home-cooked Maggi without the plastics? Whether you love cooking your noodles at home or are craving an extravagant plate of ramen, serving them in plastic plates can bring down all that needed vibe. We get it, disposable plates can be convenient.
They are easy to use and super easy to dispose of. But, if you are still referring to disposable plates as paper or plastic disposable plates, you've got it all wrong. To start with, plastic disposable plates are made from non-renewable resources like petroleum and are leached in toxins that definitely won't want in your food.
Our range of compostable Plates, on the other hand, are made from plants, not plastics. And, here's what you need to know about this eco-friendly plate range before you make the eco-friendly switch.
Compostable Plates: What Are They Made Of?
Our range of compostable plates is made from upcycled sugarcane bagasse. Bagasse is a fibrous residue left behind once juice is extracted from sugarcane stalks. This sweet-smelling waste is often burnt as it is produced in abundance. We upcycle this very plant waste into a high-performing, planet-safe compostable bagasse Plates.
Our compostable bagasse plates are USDA-certified for being plant-based and are also TUV-certified for being home-compostable. Unlike single-use plastic plates, these disposable plates break down into nutrient-rich compost within just 90-180 days after disposal. The compost formed is good for the soil as it is rich in nutrients and can be added to it as manure.

In short, these plates are all about circular economy.
