FAQ of Bioleader's Eco-friendly Disposable Tableware

Is there a possibility to order the bowls with my logo?

Of course! Custom printing is an opportunity for you to order bowls with your logo or design printed on them. Do not hesitate to ask for additional information regarding the special applications.

What sizes are available?

In respect of quantity, we are not limited as we have containers of 500ml, 750ml, 1000ml units to 1090ml, 1200ml, 1300ml, 1500ml, etc, so there is always a need.

Are the bowls microwave- and freezer-safe?

Yes, our biodegradable bowls are both microwaveable and freezer-safe, maintaining their structure and food safety even under temperature variations , Carbon Footprint.

Traditional Plastics (PP, PS)

Conventional cutlery made from polypropylene (PP) or polystyrene (PS) relies entirely on fossil fuel extraction. Producing one kilogram of PP or PS emits between 2–3 kg of CO₂e, mainly due to high-temperature polymerization and refining processes. End-of-life scenarios further increase emissions — most of these utensils are not recyclable because of food residue contamination and their lightweight nature, which makes sorting uneconomical.

Bagasse Pulp Molding

Bagasse is the fibrous by-product of sugarcane processing. After pulping and molding (wet-press or form-press routes), the result is a rigid, heat-tolerant article often compatible with hot, oily foods. Under recovery-friendly systems (where organic recovery and composting are available and correctly used), bagasse can realize strong net-carbon advantages by diverting material into biological cycles and mitigating methane potential (vs , Carbon Footprint. landfilling).
