Key Features

• Non-toxic and safe: Free of BPA and wax coating, offering a safer disposable option for families concerned about chemical transfer to food.
• Microwaveable and freezable: Safe to heat leftovers in the microwave and suitable for refrigerator or freezer storage without breaking down quickly.
• Large 12 in size: The generous diameter fits standard dinner portions comfortably, reducing the need for double-plate stacking at events.

Who It's For

The plates are ideal for event hosts, caterers, and households that want a biodegradable alternative to plastic or wax-coated paper plates and need something sturdy for heavy or greasy foods. The 125-pack is convenient for medium to large gatherings where replacement plates may be needed quickly.
