The Growing Need for Sustainable Paper Portion Pots

Plastic portion pots, widely used in foodservice industries, contribute significantly to the global plastic waste crisis. In the UK:

• 5 billion plastic condiment pots are used annually, most of which are non-recyclable due to food contamination and material composition.
• An estimated 80% of these pots end up in landfills, taking hundreds of years to decompose.
• Globally, plastic waste accounts for 12% of total municipal solid waste, with single-use packaging being a major contributor​
