Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these containers safe to use in a microwave?
A: Yes, they are generally safe for reheating food in the microwave for short periods, making them convenient for customers.
Q: Can I put these containers in the freezer?
A: Absolutely. Bagasse holds up well in the freezer, so they're suitable for batch-prepped meals or frozen goods.
Q: Are lids included with the Fiesta HW035 compostable box?
A: No, the lids are sold separately to give you a choice. You can opt for the matching bagasse lids (HW037) or clear PET lids (HW038).
Q: What exactly is bagasse?
A: It's a natural fibre made from the pulp of sugarcane after the juice has been extracted. It’s a fantastic way to recycle an agricultural waste product into useful packaging.
Q: Are they fully waterproof for holding soups?
A: They are highly water-resistant and perfect for saucy dishes like curries or pasta, but for purely liquid items like soup, we'd recommend a dedicated soup container.
Q: How should I dispose of these biodegradable food container for restaurants?
A: They are certified for commercial composting. The best way to dispose of them is in a dedicated food waste or commercial composting bin, if your area provides this service.
Q: What does the EN13432 certification mean?
A: This is the European standard that confirms a product is 'commercially compostable'. It guarantees it will break down into organic matter within 12 weeks in an industrial composting plant.
Q: How many containers are in one pack?
A: Each pack contains 100 compostable food container bases, which is a convenient quantity for most food service businesses.

Explore more from Fiesta CompostableWhy Bagasse is a Breath of Fresh Air for Takeaways
Ever wondered what makes a bagasse food container 800ml so special? It’s all down to the natural properties of the material. Bagasse is made from the fibrous pulp left over after juice is extracted from sugarcane. Instead of being thrown away, this waste material is pressed into sturdy, reliable packaging. The real magic, though, is its breathability.
Think of it like the difference between a cheap plastic poncho and a proper GORE-TEX jacket on a rainy day. The poncho traps all the moisture, leaving you feeling clammy and damp. The high-tech jacket, however, lets water vapour (steam) escape, keeping you dry and comfortable. These containers do exactly the same for your food, allowing steam to pass through the fibres. This means crispy batter stays crispy, chips stay fluffy, and fresh salads don't wilt into a soggy mess. It’s a simple bit of science that makes a huge difference to food quality.
Who Should Buy This?
- Restaurants & Bistros: Perfect for packaging main courses like curries, pasta, or stir-fries for delivery or collection.
- Street Food Vendors: A sturdy, eco-friendly choice that holds up well for customers eating on the go.
- Delis & Farm Shops: Ideal for serving generous portions of salads, pies, or hot counter meals to takeaway.
- Contract Caterers: A reliable and sustainable option for serving meals in canteens, events, or institutional settings.
