VEGWARE has announced the UK Parliament has introduced a range of the Edinburgh-based firm’s compostable products as part of moves to reduce single-use plastic.
The plant-based products include compostable cutlery, coffee cups and lids, soup containers, salad boxes, takeaway containers and drinking straws. Vegware said waste bins will capture used compostable items, prior to being sent to a specialist waste facility.
Eilidh Brunton, Vegware group recycling consultant said, “The UK Parliament choosing and composting Vegware is the highest accolade for compostable disposables as a practical recycling solution in foodservice.
“It’s an exemplar of best practice, breathing life into circular economy principals, composting biowaste here in the UK to enrich British soils. We are delighted to be a part of this collaboration.”
