Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Corner Slice, a popular artisan deli in Bath, was looking to eliminate single-use plastics from their takeaway service to better align with their brand's focus on local, organic produce.
"We switched to these Vegware bags and the customer feedback was immediate and overwhelmingly positive. People notice the small details, and they love that our packaging is as green as our salads. The window really helps our sandwiches fly off the shelf!"
Ben Carter – Owner, The Corner Slice
The deli reduced its plastic waste by over 90% and reported a noticeable uplift in sandwich sales, particularly during the lunchtime rush.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these bags really greaseproof?
A: Yes, they have a plant-based (PLA) lining that is designed to be grease-resistant, preventing leaks from common fillings and dressings.
Q: Can I put hot food in them?
A: They are suitable for cold and ambient food up to a maximum temperature of 40°C. They are not designed for hot-hold cabinets or very hot food.
Q: What exactly is the NatureFlex window made of?
A: NatureFlex is a transparent film made from renewable wood pulp. It's certified compostable, just like the rest of the bag.
Q: How should I dispose of these bags correctly?
A: They should be disposed of in a commercial composting waste stream along with food scraps. They are not suitable for standard paper recycling.
Q: Will they go soggy if the filling is moist?
A: The greaseproof lining provides a good barrier against moisture for typical grab-and-go use. However, they are not designed for very wet foods or long-term storage of moist items.
Q: Are they suitable for freezing?
A: While the materials can be frozen, they are primarily designed for ambient, chilled display and immediate consumption.
Q: How long do they take to compost?
A: In a commercial composting facility with the right conditions, they are designed to break down within 12 weeks.
Q: Is the brown colour from a dye?

Explore more from VegwareWhat is a NatureFlex Window and Why Does It Matter?
Ever wondered how a 'window' on a bag can be compostable? That's the magic of NatureFlex. Unlike a standard plastic window, NatureFlex is a clever film made from sustainably sourced wood pulp. This means it's a completely natural and renewable material, just like the kraft paper it's attached to.
Think of it like this: a plastic window in a paper bag is like a stone in a garden salad – it just doesn't belong and has to be picked out. The NatureFlex window, however, is like a carrot in that same salad. It's a different ingredient, but it's still a vegetable that belongs there. When you send the whole bag for commercial composting, the NatureFlex breaks down right alongside the paper and any food scraps, turning back into soil without leaving any harmful traces behind. It gives you perfect product visibility without compromising your green goals.
