Applications
Room service and takeaway, breakfast buffets, staff canteens, airline and rail catering, events and weddings. Bagasse plates and wooden cutlery suit markets that restrict single-use plastic plates and cutlery, such as the EU under Directive (EU) 2019/904. PP remains an option where plastic is still allowed and cost is the priority. Pair plates and cutlery with our paper cups for a complete takeaway set.

Frequently asked questions
+What does disposable tableware mean?
Disposable tableware means plates, bowls, cups, cutlery and napkins made to be used once and then discarded or composted. It replaces washable crockery where washing is impractical, such as events, takeaway and room service.
+What is the HS code for disposable tableware?
It depends on the material. Paper plates and cups usually fall under HS 4823.69, molded pulp items such as bagasse plates under 4823.70, plastic tableware under 3924.10, and wooden cutlery under 4419.90. Final classification is set by your customs broker for the destination country.
+Which disposable tableware materials are compostable?
Bagasse, a molded sugarcane pulp, and CPLA are the materials usually offered as compostable; CPLA needs industrial composting. PP is a conventional plastic and is not compostable. In the EU, CPLA still counts as plastic under the single-use plastics rules. Certificates for the exact item are confirmed with the quotation.
+Do cutlery sets include a napkin?
Yes. The standard cutlery set holds a knife, fork, spoon and napkin, wrapped together, in wooden, CPLA or PP. Sets with different contents can be quoted.
