They’re made of kraft paperboard (sustainably sourced) combined with a water-based coating (not traditional plastic) to resist moisture and grease.
Yes they are certified to Australian standards AS5810 for home composting.
Most kraft bowls on the market are only industrially compostable (need high heat, commercial facilities) and cannot be home composted.
In a home compost, officially 90% of materials should disintegrate into less than 2mm pieces in compost within 6 month. Our tests show that, depending on your compost activity, it can take up to 10 weeks for the salad bowls to fully compost.
In an industrial compost facility, compostable kraft bowls often degrade in about 4-6 weeks, depending on the composting method used.
Yes, they are designed for hot and cold, greasy food. They can also handle soup to a degree, though extremely hot liquids (or long holding times) may affect durability hence why we do not mention soups in the product's description.
Yes, they can be used in the microwave or to freeze meals and soups.
They’re reasonably resistant if liquid isn’t held for long. However, prolonged contact (multiple hours) with wet, oily, or acidic sauces may challenge the integrity of the coating.
