Where it's used
The applications 1-Compartment Tray, 7 Inch (Lite) is best suited for, and what to expect in each.
Cafeteria & canteen line service
Flat-format trays for self-serve cafeteria lines — corporate canteen, institutional dining hall, hostel mess service. The bagasse stock is sturdy enough to carry a full plate + bowl + glass load without flexing, yet light enough that the tray composts cleanly after use.
Snack platters & finger food
Event-catering finger-food platters — samosas, kebabs, paneer tikka, fries, spring rolls. The flat tray format lets the caterer plate up at the kitchen and walk an assembled platter to the buffet line. Boat-shape variants channel fries / cone-food without spillage.
Food trucks & street-food service
Compostable replacement for thermocol / PE-coated food-truck trays at street-food carts, food trucks and event-stall service. The boat-tray and oval-tray formats are sized for the standard street-food serve (vada-pav, samosa-pav, chaat, fries, kebab plate) and stack densely in the truck for transit.
Boat trays — fries, kebabs, chaat
The boat-tray format is purpose-shaped for finger-food and fries service — the inclined walls keep loose food from rolling off. Used by café franchises, hotel banquet operators and street-food brands. Bagasse stock holds the heat without burning fingertips on hand-carry.

How to use 1-compartment tray, 7 inch (lite)
A simple step-by-step for first-time users — applies to typical home and small-commercial use.
- 1Unstack from the sleeve
Trays nest tightly in sleeves of 25 / 50; the rolled-edge geometry doesn't stack-cling. Peel one off the top.
- 2Plate up — flat platter, boat or oval
Flat-format trays for cafeteria line service; boat trays for fries / kebabs / chaat that need a contained channel; oval trays for finger-food platters. Bagasse stock holds hot oil and grease without seepage.
- 3Hand-carry or buffet-line service
Bagasse pulp insulates heat — no hand-burn on hot-snack carry. Sturdy enough to carry a full snack-platter load without flex, even at the longer oval-tray sizes.
- 4Compost after use
Single-stream organic / wet-waste disposal. Compostable — in commercial composting it typically breaks down in about 90 days (manufacturer data); home composting takes longer. Single-material bagasse — no liner separation required.
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. Sealed tray sleeves hold for 24 months. Boat-shape and oval trays are more humidity-stable than flat trays — the curved walls give a little more stack-shape memory. Flat trays drift faster; use within 6 months once a sleeve is opened.
Why trays for this?
Bagasse trays carry full snack-platter and cafeteria loads without the flex / fold failure that thin paperboard suffers. Boat-shape variants channel fries and finger food without spillover — a structural advantage that flat paperboard sheets can't match. Composts cleanly as single-stream organic waste.
Compare all materials →Frequently asked questions
Common questions about 1-Compartment Tray, 7 Inch (Lite). Don't see yours? Contact us or check the full FAQ.
Why bagasse for trays?
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?
Single-stream organic / wet-waste disposal. The tray is a single bagasse pulp piece — composts cleanly without any liner separation. Compostable — in commercial composting it typically breaks down in about 90 days (manufacturer data); home composting takes longer.
What does a "Pack of 25" pack contain?
Pack of 25 ships 25 pieces of the 1-Compartment Tray, 7 Inch (Lite) (136 × 136 × 22.5 mm · 420 gsm · 7 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.
