Installation and Maintenance Guide
Storing and Using Your Containers

Proper Disposal Guide
- These containers should be placed in a commercial food waste or composting bin.
- Always check with your local council or waste contractor about the facilities available in your area.
- Do not place in your standard mixed recycling bin, as food residue contaminates the stream.
- Let your customers know they're compostable – it's a great selling point!
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is bagasse?
A: Bagasse is the dry, fibrous pulp that's left over after sugarcane stalks are crushed to extract their juice. It's a 100% natural, renewable, and sustainable resource.
Q: Are these containers suitable for the microwave?
A: Yes, they are safe to use in the microwave for reheating food, which is a great convenience for your customers.
Q: Can I put oily or greasy food in them?
A: Absolutely. Bagasse has a natural resistance to grease and oil, making these perfect for things like fish and chips, burgers, and fried chicken.
Q: Are they completely leak-proof?
A: They are highly leak-resistant but not designed for holding liquids like soup for long periods. They are ideal for moist foods like curries or dishes with sauce, but not for purely liquid meals.
Q: What does 'commercially compostable' actually mean?
A: It means the container will break down into organic material within 12 weeks in a high-temperature industrial composting facility. It won't typically break down in a standard garden compost heap.
Q: How do these biodegradable clamshell containers for catering close?
A: They have a simple and effective clamshell design with a tab closure that tucks in to keep the lid securely shut during transport.
Q: Will they make my food taste funny?
A: No, not at all. Bagasse is a completely neutral material that will not impart any taste or odour to your food.
Q: How should I store them before use?
A: For best results, keep them in their original packaging in a cool, dry place to ensure they stay clean and in perfect condition.

Explore more from Fiesta CompostableWhy a 'Breathable' Box Keeps Food Crispy
Ever wondered why chips can leave the fryer perfectly crispy but end up soft and sad by the time they reach your customer? It's all down to trapped steam. Traditional plastic or polystyrene containers are non-porous; they create a seal that traps all the moisture escaping from hot food, effectively steaming it inside the box.
Bagasse, however, is made from natural plant fibres. Think of it like the difference between a plastic raincoat and a cotton jacket. The raincoat traps all moisture, leaving you sweaty, while the cotton jacket lets your skin breathe. These eco-friendly disposable food packaging containers work the same way for your food. The microscopic pores in the bagasse material allow steam to escape, preventing condensation from building up and turning crispy coatings into a soggy mess. It's a simple bit of science that makes a huge difference to food quality.
Who Should Buy This?
