Plant-based compostables + food = compost to feed UK soils

Conventional disposables create recycling challenges by mixing plastic and card. Add in food contamination, and recycling is even less likely.

Vegware makes packaging from plants, not plastic. Our disposables are designed for commercial composting with food waste. Food contamination isn’t a problem, it’s a vital ingredient for composting.

Plastic + card + food= incineration or landfill

Now we’re making recycling simple, launching our own collection service.

• UK soils are in crisis, with only 30 harvests left before fields are barren. Compost can reverse this trend, feeding British soil, to grow crops and feed British consumers.

• Unlike liquid fertilisers, compost improves soil structure. This reduces rain run-off and therefore flood risk.

• Composting is local recycling in the UK, not exporting waste across the world.

• Composting keeps all organic materials out of landfill, and produces a useful new product, whilst also reducing carbon emissions.

Once food waste and Vegware share one bin, there’s no food contaminating your dry recycling bin. That’s why in foodservice, compostable packaging is the key to recycling everything.
