Secure your sauce. These bioplastic lids offer a secure leak-proof fit for our 60ml and 140ml clear sauce containers, ideal for takeaway sauces, aioli, and anything really that your customers would want on the side. While these lids have the appearance of conventional petrochemical plastics, they are the Ingeo™ brand of polylactic acid (PLA). PLA has the ability to be processed in different forms, retaining the functional properties of conventional plastic but unlike petrochemical plastics, is produced from renewable feedstocks such as corn, cassava, sugar cane or beets.

BPI Compostable (ASTM D6400/D6868)

End of Life

Industrial Composting

Our clear containers and lids are certified compostable to the ASTM D6400 standards for industrial composting, verified by BPI, which requires the compostable product to:

1) disintegrate after 12 weeks, and

2) completely biodegrade after six months. (This means that 90% or more of the material will have been converted to CO2. The remaining share is converted into water and biomass – i.e. valuable compost.)
