Measuring 260mm (L) × 130mm (W) × 15mm (H), the rectangular format provides a generous serving surface well suited to plated meals, street food portions, and counter service presentations where a non-circular plate format is preferred.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe plate is suitable for both hot and cold food applications and is microwavable and freezer safe, giving operators flexibility across preparation, service, and reheating workflows. The rigid bagasse construction holds its shape under a full serving without flexing, and the grease-resistant surface resists oil migration from hot food during service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eManufactured from sugarcane fibre (bagasse) – a renewable plant-based by-product of sugarcane processing – the plate contains no PE lining, no PFAS-added coatings, and no BPA, and is suitable for direct food contact under UK market requirements. As an industrially compostable product, it provides a lower-impact alternative to conventional plastic or PE-lined disposable plates for operators managing their packaging footprint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTypical uses\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rectangular bagasse plate is particularly suited to service contexts where the elongated plate format supports food presentation or operational efficiency better than a round or square alternative.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eStreet food and festival catering where the rectangular format accommodates hot dogs, burritos, loaded fries, wraps, and other elongated or multi-component street food items that do not sit naturally on a round plate\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eCounter service and café plating for sandwiches, open-faced items, and accompanied snacks presented at point of sale or handed to customers at a counter\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eEvents and catering buffets where operators require a large case quantity of a rigid, presentable plate suitable for hot and cold food across a full service period\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eCasual dining and pop-up restaurants where the plate format supports a more distinctive table presentation compared with standard round plates, without requiring ceramic or reusable tableware\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eMeal-prep and batch catering for operators that require microwavable and freezer-safe plates compatible with pre-portioned food preparation and delivery workflows\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey benefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eRigid construction supports food presentation during service: The bagasse fibre construction maintains its shape when loaded with a full portion of hot or cold food, including moist dishes and items with sauces. This prevents the flex and collapse that can affect lighter-weight disposable plates during busy service, supporting consistent presentation from kitchen to customer.\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eGrease-resistant surface for fried and hot food: The natural properties of sugarcane fibre provide resistance to oil and grease migration from fried food, chips, and hot meals. This keeps the plate's surface stable during service without the need for a plastic liner or coating.\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eMicrowavable and freezer safe: Both properties are supported by the bagasse material specification, allowing the same plate to be used from frozen pre-portioned storage through to microwave reheating without requiring transfer to a separate vessel. This is a practical advantage for meal-prep operations and catering services where food is prepared in advance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eIndustrially compostable material for operators managing sustainability commitments: Bagasse is a plant-based, industrially compostable material with no plastic lining. Operators working with venues, clients, or event organisations that require compostable serving ware can deploy this plate where appropriate waste processing facilities are available.\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eLarge case quantity for high-volume service periods: Supplied in cases of 500, the rectangular bagasse plate is well suited to events catering and batch-service operations where consistent stock levels across a full service period are essential.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"NextWave","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62823180534131,"sku":null,"price":100.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0995\/6232\/4339\/files\/RectangularBagassePlates10x5inch_ce7d1f28-ac1e-414b-a426-514945b49bdf.jpg?v=1778284723","url":"https:\/\/next-wave.uk\/products\/rectangular-bagasse-plates","provider":"Next Wave","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
