How Restaurants Are Choosing Disposable Plates in 2025

With the continuous upgrading of environmental protection policies and consumer concepts, more and more catering companies are turning their attention to the new option of disposable plates and biodegradable plates in 2025. Whether it is quick service restaurants (QSR), high-end restaurants, takeaway platforms, wedding banquets, or group catering organizations, disposable plates and biodegradable plates have become an industry trend.

Why are more and more restaurants choosing “disposable plates and biodegradable plates”?

In the past, disposable plastic plates were widely used due to their low cost and high ease of use. However, with increasingly stringent environmental regulations and increasing social attention, traditional plastic products are gradually being eliminated. Disposable plates and biodegradable plates have become an alternative, which is not only more environmentally friendly, but also in line with consumer values.

As a professional disposable tableware supplier, Bsetluck has seen an increase of more than 70% in orders for degradable products in the past year. Our series of biodegradable disposable plates are being widely adopted by restaurants around the world.

What do restaurants value when choosing “disposable plates and biodegradable plates”?

Environmental compliance Many governments have issued “plastic bans” to prohibit the use of disposable non-degradable plastic products. Using biodegradable disposable plates can help restaurants operate in compliance and avoid fines and public opinion risks.
Brand image bonus Consumers are willing to pay for environmental protection and choose restaurants that use environmentally friendly packaging, which increases repurchase rates and brand loyalty.
Strong customization capabilities Bsetluck can provide brand LOGO customization services, so that every dish can show your brand attitude.
Environmental responsibility Traditional plastic decomposition cycles can reach hundreds of years, while biodegradable plates can be degraded in 90 to 180 days in the natural environment, avoiding white pollution and protecting marine and soil resources.
Widely applicable, upgraded performance Bserluck’s products are suitable for microwave ovens, oil-proof and waterproof, and have high strength. Whether it is cold or hot food, it can be easily handled.
Reasonable wholesale price With the popularization of large-scale production, the cost of biodegradable plates has dropped significantly, making them suitable for large-scale purchases.

What are the mainstream biodegradable materials?

The current mainstream disposable dinner plates are biodegradable products, mainly made of the following materials:

Recyclable materials (non-degradable, but environmentally compliant)
- PP (polypropylene) is the most common food-grade plastic. It is durable and resistant to high temperatures, suitable for packaging hot and oily foods. PP materials can be recycled repeatedly, suitable for daily fast food takeout, high-temperature catering and other application scenarios, and are widely welcomed by the market.
- PS (polystyrene) is known for its light texture and good transparency, and is often used for cold food display plates, disposable dessert bowls, etc. Although it is not degradable, it can be reused in the recycling system, which is also a low-cost and practical solution. The PP and PS tableware series provided by Bestluck all meet international food safety standards, and support customers to customize the color, size and appearance according to brand needs, such as the retro-style transparent green plate series.
Biodegradable and environmentally friendly materials (truly realizing “degradable after use”)
- Sugarcane pulp (Bagasse) is the most widely used bio-based environmentally friendly material, made from fibers squeezed from sugarcane. It is naturally non-toxic, oil-proof and waterproof, heat-resistant, and can be completely degraded within 90 days under industrial composting conditions. It is very suitable for disposable plates, lunch boxes, bowls and other containers. Bestluck provides a variety of sugarcane pulp specifications to meet different catering needs.
- PLA (polylactic acid) is derived from plant starch (such as corn, cassava, etc.), has a light texture, is odorless, and can be naturally degraded. It is especially suitable for cold drink cups, cold food trays, etc. However, PLA is not resistant to high temperatures and its scope of application is relatively limited.
- If you need to be degradable and able to withstand higher temperatures, CPLA (crystalline PLA) is a more ideal choice. It is an upgraded version of PLA. After crystallization, it can withstand heat up to 90°C, which is very suitable for supporting products such as hot food knives, forks and spoons.
- Bamboo fiber As a natural raw material, its environmentally friendly properties and high-end appearance make it increasingly popular in wedding banquets and customized high-end packaging. Bestluck also provides some bamboo fiber series products, which are both environmentally friendly and beautiful.
