Today at Vegware it’s a double celebration as we celebrate the 4^th of July and our first birthday in the US! It seems just like yesterday we opened our office in Huntington Beach.

Our first year has seen us add some new faces to our growing team and increase our supply of products across the country from coast to coast. Our Zero Waste Director, Julia has had a whirlwind year working closely with clients and composters to set up zero waste programs.

With a wide range of businesses now seeking plastic-free packaging alternatives, we’ve seen a surge of interest in our compostable solution and this has created some amazing opportunities for us.

Our solution is simple as our founder and CEO, Joe Frankel explains:

“You can’t recycle food with plastic in it, and you can’t recycle plastic with food on it. Moving to compostable catering disposables means that food and packaging waste can be recycled together. We believe compostables are the only true recycling solution for the category. That’s why we don’t make or sell anything that’s plastic.”

Just as the last year has flown by, we’re sure the next will follow suit. We’d like to thank everyone who has supported us in this time and look forward to seeing what the future has to hold!

The holiday season is a time for reflection, turkey and most importantly of all – parties! No matter what the size the party, every host needs to plan what they’re going to serve and what to serve it in. Whether you’re throwing a party for a small group of friends or a large guest list, our range of compostable catering disposables suits any size party.

Varying from 9-24oz in size, our cold cup range is great for large or small volumes of cocktails, beer or soda. Our compostable cups are made from plant-based material, PLA.

The green leaf band shares your commitment to sustainability so your guests know they’re getting the greenest cup out there. If your drinks require straws then look no further than our range of compostable straws. Great for slurping smoothies or sipping cocktails.

Another popular member of our cold cup family is our PLA wine goblet. At this time of year we usually see it being served with wine, prosecco and eggnog. Just like the rest of our cold cup range, this cup is made from sustainable plastic alternative, PLA.

As everybody knows it’s not just drinks that are essential for a great party, food is too! Complete your sustainable party with our range of plates and bowls. Our tableware range is all made from sugarcane-based fibre, bagasse. A sustainable alternative to using Styrofoam. Great for the likes of BBQs and dinner parties.
