10oz-42oz Compostable PLA Round Salad Bowls
HSQY compostable PLA round bowls are designed for salads, fruit, grain bowls, pasta salads, desserts and other cold or low-temperature prepared foods. Made from plant-based Polylactic Acid (PLA), these disposable food bowls are available in multiple capacities from 10oz to 42oz for restaurants, cafés, supermarkets, catering companies and takeaway foodservice businesses.
Available capacities include 10oz, 16oz, 22oz, 25oz, 28oz, 34oz and 42oz. The round format provides multiple portion options for side dishes, individual salads, meal bowls and larger takeaway servings. Clear PLA snap-on lids are listed for compatible configurations.
The current product specification lists a maximum temperature of 105°F / 40°C. These standard PLA bowls should therefore be used for cold or low-temperature food applications rather than very hot foods or hot soup. Buyers requiring heat-resistant food containers should confirm a suitable material and product specification separately.
