Freshtableware makes that easy. We manufacture 100% biodegradable plates from sugarcane bagasse, a strong, natural material that’s compostable, microwave-safe, oil- and water-resistant, and PFAS-free.
This guide will help you choose the best disposable plates for your business and why Freshtableware might be the right partner.

Why Disposable Plates Matter in Food Service
Save Time, Serve More
Cleaning up takes time. Disposable plates let your team focus on food and customers, not dishes.
Stay Clean and Safe
Single-use tableware cuts the risk of contamination, especially in high-volume or delivery-heavy settings.
Good for Presentation
Quality disposable plates don’t just carry food, they present it well. A clean, sturdy plate makes food look better, whether it’s dine-in or delivered.
