Fantastic business that I wish all the best too and will be using a lot more as it develops but not the fastest delivery. A little lacking in stock being available. Open ended on delivery dates/times.... See more

Very impressive and highly recommended!

I am very impressed with Single Use Alternatives and highly recommend them! I was looking for small pots for playdough (for my son’s school fiver challenge) and was determined not to use plastic. After some research online I came across this company which sold small batches of 50 compostable pots with lids that were very reasonably priced compared to other companies I found. I made a mistake and ordered domed lids instead of flat ones and Adrian sorted it out very promptly for me (& even discounted the slight difference in price) which was very much appreciated. The pots worked brilliantly! You can hardly believe they’re not plastic and being compostable and eco friendly was a big selling point. I will definitely be using Single Use Alternatives again as they have a wide range of products and I am passionate about reducing plastic use! Many thanks again and keep up the excellent work!

Thanks Jamie. Read more on our blogpost https://singleusealternatives.co.uk/ten-reasons-why-we-believe-compostables-beat-single-use-plastics/ as to why we think those straws are better than oil based plastic alternatives.

the only place we'll use

Just so so helpful from start to finish.
Couldn't believe the range of products and the affordability. We're a community cafe so really tight budgets to meet and Adrian & Neil have been so great in helping us achieve that.

Personable communication and a hands on approach which suits us great as we love working with other people doing great stuff for the planet.

Thanks Guys

What's not to love...

As a small business accessing sensible amount of packaging at a time that is ethical and sustainable was very challenging...however single use alternatives changed that for us overnight. Can not recommend highly enough.
Always plenty of stock and variety with fast turnaround.... What's not to love.

First time customer, but it won't be the last!

This was my first time using this company to buy various items for a charity event. I was impressed by the range, availability, value, environmental credentials and service. I'll definitely be buying from this company again for future events.

Quick to arrive and kind & thoughtful delivery lady

I restocked on disposable bagasse plates for my elderly parents. We know these strong compostable items work well for them and save them having to wash up.
Round plate from vegware, white (9″ diam)
Round biocane plate, white (7″ diam)
I found this company after the usual local one had been out of this size of Vegware for a couple of months.
I was very impressed by the courier they used. She telephoned me as the property is difficult to locate, and was very helpful when she arrived as the box was very heavy for my Mum to manage.

Really pleased we can continue to help your parents with plates and bowls made from a sustainable, renewable resource rather than oil based plastics. Depending which council collects your food waste, you may be able to put the compsotable waste in with that, check locally. Adrian
