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

We used the single-use alternatives products for the 5 film shoots we were working on this month and we couldn't be happier. As film productions, it's always difficult to find ways to be a little g... See more

It is so good to be able to help a local community project like you are pioneering Paul. I wish you the best of luck and long may we be able to support you. Adrian
Excellent product
We are delighted with the cups which are strong and stable and don’t get soggy or bendy when full of hot liquid. Also they are well insulated so your hand doesn’t get too hot. It’s good to know they are completely recyclable unlike others which have plastic coatings etc. Also, very courteous and helpful service from the company.

Great stuff Sue, glad we could help your community. We would always recommend checking with your local authority if they collect compostable waste with household food waste.

Thanks Andy. We have a range of compostable lids that fit those cups too, along with many types of compostable straws. Hope to hear from you again. Adrian

Thanks Sue, those 3 compartment compostable takeaway clamshells are really useful. There's a broad range of single and 2 compartment trays too. Adrian

I'm hoping those large compostable platters were great for your sushi. Thanks for your custom. Did you know we have a great range of those platters, of various sizes too. Adrian
Great service, fast delivery and good, guilt free product.
I was looking for an alternative to disposal rubber gloves and came across this site. I thought I’d try a couple of different options. The products are so good that they haven’t made it to work, I’ve kept them at home and will need to buy some more. They are brilliant and the lack of guilt of using one use plastics makes wearing them a different experience. This company should be a must on everyone’s list who wants a more environmentally sustainable alternative to everyday plastics; for home and for work.

Great to see that you like the compostable gloves we offer. Don't forget we also offer compostable clingfilm and bin/caddy liners. You'll find these just as suitable either at home or at work. Adrian

Thanks Duncan, glad you liked the compostable clingfilm and gloves you ordered. Love what you are doing with your range of products, perhaps consider our compostable sheets in the future too, we'd love to continue to support you. Adrian

Excellent quality and very durable containers for hot food. Very good value, and prompt delivery. I also found the service and communication from the company very helpful. I will be buying from this company from now on.

Love the range of graze boxes you are doing Lisa. Did you know we have compostable platters and portion pots too? ideal for making a sustainable statement to your customers. Adrian

Hope you liked the 3 compartment food trays, great for hot food service. Made from plants not plastic,
Bad quality
I ordered 100 vegware clamshells, 50x 16oz and 50x 32oz. The 16oz were ok but the 32oz ones were unusable, so i'm now using different clamshells.

Reply from Singleusealternatives
Good to speak to you Steven. Sorry to hear the larger clamshells had a tight fitting lid. Good for keeping food fresher for longer, but understand a little tricky if you expect your customers will need to keep opening and closing them. Good luck with your new business and let us know if you wish to trial any of the rest of our compostable range, we can always send samples. Adrian
No issues
No issues and it’s great to be able to order smaller quantities especially when trying out new items.

Thanks Jamie, those compostable trays and lids are quite popular at the moment. Microwave safe, ovenproof up to 220°C for 20 mins and refrigerator/freezer safe too. We have a range of sizes to suit all needs. Adrian
Still awaiting back order of products.
Great service and excellent products. There was a delay in delivery but quickly sorted out. Will definitely be using again.
