Our series numbers are just a quick way to match bases & lids. Matching series numbers = matching products* e.g. Any 79 Series cup will fit any 79 Series lid.

*Please note: the 185-Series clear PLA lid fits all 185-Series bases, however the 185-Series paper lid only fits 185-Series paper bases.

But how do we come to the specific series numbers? These are usually based on product width (e.g. 79 Series = 79mm rim, 185 Series = 185mm rim)

PLA (Polylactic Acid) is a compostable bioplastic made from plants - primarily corn - not fossil fuels.

Manufacturing bioplastics such as PLA produces significantly less carbon than conventional plastics such as PS or PET, and all Vegware PLA products are commercially compostable where accepted. 

Clear PLA varieties are suitable for cold use only, however CPLA (Crystallised PLA) is suitable for both hot and cold.

All Vegware products are commercially compostable - this means they will break down entirely in under 12 weeks in an industrial composting facility. If organics / industrial compost collections are available this means your Vegware cup, lid, plate, fork & napkin can all be disposed of alongside your leftover chips.

Vegware's disposable catering supplies are all designed with same day / immediate foodservice in mind, not for long-term use. So we can't really say how our products perform in the freezer or microwave, as they haven't been designed or tested for it.

If you intend to use any Vegware products outside of the intended purpose, we always recommend requesting samples and testing their suitability for yourself. The samples are free - just let us know what you're after.

Any clear PLA items are not microwave safe.

Certainly! Contact us today to ask about pallet pricing.
