Our materials

Why plants, not plastic?


RENEWABLE

Vegware is made of plants, not plastic. Why use up finite resources – trees, corn and sugarcane are renewable natural materials.

LOWER CARBON

Making plant-based materials emits less carbon than making most plastics. And our Eco Audits count your carbon savings by the kilo.

RECYCLED

We love recycled card, paper and bagasse, our recycled sugarcane fibre. Our Eco Audits track the recycled content in each order – together we’re saving virgin materials.

SUSTAINABLY SOURCE

Any virgin card or paper used to make Vegware products come from a responsible forestry source with a recognised chain of custody.

 

 

Tried, tested & trusted

CERTIFIED COMPOSTABL

TRACEABLE SUSTAINABLE SUPPLY CHAI

We are proud of our sustainable supply chain. Our fully traceable products are made in quality controlled conditions from sustainably sourced or recycled materials. Minimising waste and maximising transport efficiency give benefit all round.
