Over the past few years, we have been working on a sugarcane paper lid that fulfils all the criteria of a bioplastic lid but would be more widely accepted in highly regulated event environments. 

Made from sugarcane pulp, a byproduct of the industry and a fast-growing renewable resource, sugarcane offers a circular alternative to fossil fuel plastics used in takeaway settings. 

*Lid sizes are available in 80mm and 90mm options.

Certifications

• Certified to AS 5810 for home composting (verified by the Australasian Bioplastics Association)
• Certified to ASTM D6400, D6868, D8410 for industrial composting (verified by the Biodegradable Products Institute, BPI)

End of Life

Where appropriate composting infrastructure exists, certified compostable packaging can contribute to circular economy outcomes by supporting greater diversion of food waste from landfill, including food scraps attached to packaging. End-of-life outcomes depend on local infrastructure. We recommend confirming local acceptance before making compostability claims.

AS 5810 and ASTM D6400 include requirements that total fluorine content does not exceed 100 ppm, alongside declarations of no intentionally added PFAS, as referenced by the Australasian Bioplastics Association and the Biodegradable Products Institute (BPI).
