Vegware exists to provide economic, eco-friendly, and high quality options to the food service industry. Our longer term goal is to play a part in enabling a paradigm shift in how waste is managed.

We offer an environmentally sustainable range of cutlery and tableware, a bespoke packaging service, and strive to give the highest possible levels of customer service.

Why do we need Vegware?

Currently, huge volumes of paper, plastic and styrofoam cutlery, tableware and food packaging are used and disposed of each year. To give an idea of the scale, an estimated 39 billion items of disposable cutlery are used in the US each year (source: The Food Packaging Institute, Washington, D.C.) and 2 billion items of disposable cutlery were used in the UK in 1990 (source www.wasteonline.org.uk).

However, technological developments in the area of bioplastics and fibre processing mean that a new range of alternatives based on safe, biodegradable, and annually renewable raw materials are available.

Add to this the fact that a large amount of the waste we generate is suitable for commercial composting - though the economics of sorting different types of waste means that it is disposed of as landfill instead. A switch to compostable foodware and packaging would remove the economic barrier to composting, as food waste, packaging, and tableware could simply be processed together.

Through providing eco-friendly and economic options to the food service industry, Vegware intends to enable a shift in the way waste is managed.
