Vegware Straws

Vegware straws are made from plant-based materials and are safe and non-toxic. The straws are high quality eco friendly straws that actually help to keep carbonated drinks fizzy for longer. The black and clear straws are made from PLA and the white striped bio straws are made from ecovio, a compostable plant-based material.

Vegware Cups

Vegware cups are available in single or double-walled form. Single-walled cups are cheaper and are suitable for cold drinks. Doubled walled cups are more suited to hot drinks as they protect customers' hands and keep the hot drinks hotter for longer. All Vegware cups are made from sustainably sourced paper and lined with plant based PLA.

Vegware Compostable Cutlery

Vegware cutlery is made from reclaimed RCPLA and is the world's first cutlery made from reclaimed PLA. It’s sleek and stylish and the black version is coloured with food safe carbon black pigment. The original white CPLA high-heat cutlery is perfect for hot foods and soups and is tough enough to attack crunchy lunches. It is Europe’s first high-heat cutlery with compostability certification from the Biodegradable Products Institute.

Vegware Boxes for Takeaways

Vegware’s takeaway boxes are an eco alternative to polystyrene made from reclaimed sugarcane they are suitable for both hot and cold food and are commercially compostable. Their range of hinged takeaway boxes are made in a high heat, high-pressure process and come in a range of sizes and shapes.

How to Dispose of Vegware
