Where it's used
The applications 9 Inch Round Plate is best suited for, and what to expect in each.
Family dinners & everyday home meals
The 9-inch round plate is sized for full Indian thali presentation — roti, rice, two sabzis and a small bowl of dal fit comfortably without spillover. Sturdy 385+ gsm bagasse stock holds gravies and saucy curries without softening, and the natural off-white finish reads premium against any tablecloth.
Wedding & festival catering — premium plate format
Our most-ordered wedding-catering SKU. Pairs cleanly with traditional Indian buffet service for 200–2000 pax events. The bagasse pulp is engineered to hold up under buffet-line heat lamps for 60+ minutes without warping — a critical reliability margin that thinner imports miss.
Cloud kitchens & food delivery — mains plate
Cloud-kitchen kitchens running rice bowls, biryanis, North/South Indian thalis and main-course platters use the 9-inch as their default plate spec. Microwave-safe (up to 3 minutes at 700–1000 W, manufacturer specification) — diners can re-heat directly on the plate, no transfer needed.
Cafés, QSR & casual dining service
Single-use full-service plating for cafés, food-courts and QSR chains that want to bin disposable polystyrene without re-tooling for ceramic dishwashing. Stacks cleanly in sleeves of 50 — fits standard plate-warmer racks and self-serve dispensers across the HORECA market.

How to use 9 inch round plate
A simple step-by-step for first-time users — applies to typical home and small-commercial use.
- 1Unstack from the sleeve
Plates ship in nested sleeves of 25 / 50. Peel one off the top; the natural matte finish doesn't stick or stack-cling like waxed paperboard does — no need to slide between fingertips.
- 2Plate up — hot, oily or saucy food
Bagasse handles hot food and resists oil / curry seepage for the length of a meal (manufacturer specification). No paper liner needed — the plate is itself the barrier.
- 3Microwave reheat (optional)
Microwave reheat for up to 3 minutes at 700–1000 W (manufacturer specification) — no conventional oven. Diners can reheat food directly on the plate without transferring.
- 4Compost after use
Drop into the organic / wet-waste stream. Compostable — in commercial composting it typically breaks down in about 90 days (manufacturer data); home composting takes longer. No segregation needed — the plate is single-material bagasse pulp.
Storage & shelf life
Store sealed cartons in a dry place, away from direct sunlight, water and strong-smelling chemicals. Bagasse pulp is naturally absorbent — kept sealed it holds its food-contact and structural rating; left open near a damp wall or fragrance source, it'll pick up moisture and ambient odours over time. Unopened sleeves of plates hold their stack tension and food-contact rating for 24 months. Once a sleeve is broken into, finish it within 6 months for best plating performance — the natural matte finish slowly absorbs ambient humidity, which doesn't compromise food safety but can soften the rim crispness.
Why round plates for this?
Bagasse round plates run sturdier than CPLA / PLA disposables at the same weight, hold heat without warping unlike standard paperboard, and compost (typically about 90 days in commercial composting) versus the never of polystyrene and the questionable industrial-only of bioplastics. The mineral-free moulded pulp also means no PE / PLA inner film — the plate composts as a single stream.

Common questions about 9 Inch Round Plate. Don't see yours? Contact us or check the full FAQ.
Why bagasse for round plates?
Bagasse is the fibrous residue left after sugarcane juice extraction — an agricultural byproduct that used to be burned in the field. Moulded into tableware, it gives a single-material pulp vessel with built-in water and oil resistance (no PE / PLA inner film), microwave use per manufacturer specification, and a compostable end-of-life (typically about 90 days in commercial composting). Versus polystyrene: composts instead of lingering for centuries. Versus PLA bioplastics: plain plant fibre, no bioplastic. Versus PE-coated paperboard: composts as a single stream — no liner separation pass.
Is it compostable, and how do I dispose of it?
Drop spent plates into the organic / wet-waste stream. Compostable — in commercial composting it typically breaks down in about 90 days (manufacturer data); home composting takes longer. The plate is a single bagasse pulp piece — no inner liner, no plastic film, nothing to segregate. Pairs with the rest of the bagasse range (cups, bowls, cutlery) in the same disposal stream.
What does a "Pack of 25" pack contain?
Pack of 25 ships 25 pieces of the 9 Inch Round Plate (Ø 220 × 18 mm · 385 gsm · 13 g/piece). For a typical use pattern in this category, expect 2–3 weeks at home trial usage; 3–4 days at small-café service usage. Step up to the larger pack at checkout for the best per-piece price.
Can I microwave, oven-heat or freeze this?
Microwave: yes — up to 3 minutes at 700–1000 W (manufacturer specification). Freezer: fine for short-term storage. Please don't use bagasse in a conventional oven unless the product page says otherwise.
