EN13432 Packaging Standard Compliance Checklist | Bioleader® Guides

The base material is paperboard, but the final disposal claim depends on the lining and local waste system. PE-coated bowls are practical for standard foodservice use and may depend on local recycling capability. PLA-coated or water-based coated options are better choices when buyers need compostable or plastic-reduction packaging claims.

A 1500ml paper salad bowl is designed for extra-large single-serve, sharing, or family-size portions. It is commonly used for salads, rice bowls, poke bowls, cold noodles, pasta, fruit portions, desserts, side dishes, and takeaway meals — EN13432 packaging standard. For buyers building a wider foodservice range, 1500ml can be paired with 500ml, 750ml, 1000ml, 1090ml, 1200ml, and 1300ml paper salad bowls , EN13432 packaging standard.

Yes. Bioleader® 1000ml rectangular paper salad bowls with lids are suitable for salads, rice bowls, cold meals, hot food, takeaway meals, and prepared food programs. The food-grade paperboard structure, coated surface, rectangular shape, and matching lid options help improve stacking, handling, and transport performance.

Commercial “cornstarch tableware” can use very different resin systems. Starch content does not automatically mean pure plant fibre, plastic-free, home compostable or legally outside the SUP framework. Buyers should request the actual resin formulation or material declaration and confirm which polymer forms the structural matrix. A finished item may be eligible for industrial-compostability certification, but that claim must be supported by the exact formulation and product scope — EN13432 packaging standard.

CPLA is typically a modified PLA-based plastic formulation used where higher heat resistance is required. For EU legal analysis, the important point is that compostability does not create an exemption from a separate ban on a plastic product format. Directive (EU) 2019/904 Article 5 prohibits the placing on the market of specified single-use plastic products listed in Part B of the Annex, including plastic cutlery and plastic plates. If a CPLA knife, fork, spoon or plate falls within those categories, an EN 13432 certificate does not make the restricted format marketable.
