Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Olive Branch Deli in York was looking to refresh its tableware. They wanted something that was not only stylish and hard-wearing but also aligned with their commitment to using local, sustainable suppliers and reducing their environmental impact. They replaced their older, mismatched ceramic dishes with the APS Friendly Bowls.
"We've had so many customers comment on the new bowls. They look fantastic on the counter and for our takeaway salads. They're also much tougher than our old ceramics – we've hardly had any breakages since we switched, which is brilliant for a busy deli like ours."
Robert Green – Owner
The switch resulted in a noticeable decrease in replacement costs and enhanced the deli's modern, eco-conscious aesthetic, directly improving customer perception.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon delivery, check the bowls for any damage that may have occurred in transit.
- Give them a good wash before their first use with a non-abrasive detergent.
- That's it! They are ready to be stacked in your cupboard or put straight into service.
Keeping It Going
- These bowls are dishwasher safe, but only on cycles up to 55°C to protect the material.
- Avoid using harsh, abrasive sponges or scouring pads which can scratch the surface.
- To prevent staining from strong-coloured foods like beetroot or turmeric, rinse the bowls soon after use.
- Stack carefully to maximise their lifespan and keep your storage areas tidy.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What exactly is RPET?
A: RPET is recycled PET plastic, the same kind used for drink bottles. It's cleaned and reprocessed into a new, durable, food-safe material.
Q: Are these bowls microwave safe?
A: No, due to the nature of the RPET material, it is not recommended to use these bowls in a microwave.
Q: Can I use them for hot soup?
A: These bowls are best suited for cold or warm food items like salads, desserts, and appetisers. They are not designed for serving very hot liquids like soup.
Q: How do they compare to standard porcelain bowls?
A: They are much lighter and more resistant to chipping and breaking than porcelain, but they have a lower heat tolerance. They also offer significant environmental benefits.
Q: What does 'dishwasher safe up to 55°C' mean for my kitchen?
A: It means you should use your commercial dishwasher on a lower-temperature or eco-cycle. High-temperature sanitation cycles may damage the bowls over time.
Q: Are the APS Friendly Bowl 75x70x45mm truly stackable?
A: Yes, they are designed to nest inside one another to save a significant amount of storage space.
Q: Will the white finish stain easily?
A: The RPET material is non-porous and resists staining well. For best results, rinse after use with highly pigmented foods like tomato sauce or curry.
Q: Are these sold individually?
A: Yes, these bowls are sold as individual units, allowing you to buy exactly the quantity you need for your business.
The APS Commitment: Smart Design Meets Sustainability
Choosing APS tableware goes beyond just picking a product; it's an investment in thoughtful German engineering designed for the real-world pressures of the hospitality industry. For decades, APS has built a reputation on creating items that aren't just functional, but are intelligently crafted to solve common kitchen problems. This bowl is a prime example. The decision to use 100% RPET isn't just a nod to environmental trends; it's a strategic choice that provides incredible durability and reduces the constant, costly cycle of replacing chipped ceramic. This focus on long-term value means less waste, lower operational costs, and a consistent, professional presentation you can rely on day in, day out. By integrating the APS Friendly Bowl, you're not just buying a dish; you're adopting a piece of equipment that reflects a modern, efficient, and conscious approach to hospitality.

When you see 'RPET', it's easy to just think 'recycled plastic', but it's a bit more clever than that. RPET stands for Recycled Polyethylene Terephthalate, which is the type of plastic used for things like fizzy drink and water bottles. These post-consumer items are collected, thoroughly cleaned, and then melted down and remoulded into something new and durable – in this case, a premium serving bowl.
Think of it as giving that single-use bottle a high-flying new career in hospitality. Instead of ending up in landfill, it becomes a hard-wearing, food-safe, and stylish part of your service. This process uses significantly less energy and fewer resources than creating virgin plastic from scratch, meaning the APS Friendly Bowl white doesn't just look good, it does good, reducing waste and lowering your business's environmental footprint one serving at a time.
