Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The team at 'Salad Days Deli' in Bristol were looking to ditch their plastic packaging to better reflect their fresh, sustainable ethos. They needed a robust container that could handle complex salads with separate dressings and toppings without becoming a soggy mess.
"Our customers have been so positive about the new containers. They love that we're making a greener choice, and the feedback on how well the food travels has been fantastic. The two compartments mean no more sad, wilted salads!"
Samuel Jones – Head Chef
After switching to the Fiesta Green FC524 containers, the deli saw a noticeable uptick in positive online reviews mentioning their eco-friendly packaging, contributing to a stronger local reputation.

Storage and Disposal

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these containers leak-proof?
A: They are leak-resistant for most foods like curries or dishes with thick sauces. However, as the material is breathable, they are not designed to hold very thin liquids like soups for extended periods.
Q: What does 'commercially compostable' actually mean?
A: It means they will break down into nutrient-rich compost within 12 weeks in an industrial composting facility, which uses higher temperatures than a home compost bin.
Q: Can I put very greasy or oily food in them?
A: Yes, bagasse handles grease and oil very well, making it perfect for things like fish and chips or fried chicken without disintegrating.
Q: How long will they keep food hot?
A: The bagasse material has natural insulating properties and the hinged lid helps retain heat well, comparable to traditional foam containers, keeping food warm during typical delivery times.
Q: Do they have any plastic or wax coating?
A: No, these containers are made from 100% natural bagasse fibre and contain no plastic (PFAS) or wax lining, which is what allows them to be compostable.
Q: Can I stack them once they are filled with food?
A: Yes, their sturdy, rigid construction allows for stacking, which is a great space-saver for busy takeaway services and delivery bags.
Q: Is the hinge durable?
A: Absolutely. The hinge is moulded as part of the container and is designed to be opened and closed multiple times without weakening or breaking.
Q: What is the best way to store the unused containers?
A: Simply keep them in their original packaging in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight or any sources of moisture to keep them in perfect condition.

Explore more from FiestaWhat is Bagasse, and Why Is It Brilliant for Food?
Ever wondered what 'bagasse' actually is? It's a bit of a hero in the world of eco-friendly packaging. In simple terms, it's the dry, pulpy fibre that's left over after sugarcane stalks are crushed to extract their juice. Instead of this material being thrown away or burned, it gets a second life by being moulded into strong and durable food containers like these.
Think of it like getting a bonus gift. The main job of the sugarcane is done, and this incredibly useful byproduct is ready to be transformed. Because it’s a natural fibre, it's breathable – which is why it's so good at keeping fried food from going soggy. It lets just enough steam out to maintain that perfect crunch. It's a clever, sustainable choice that performs brilliantly, turning a waste product into a valuable asset for your kitchen.
Who Should Buy This?
