ASH / FAQ

Questions.

01 / Product

What are ASH plates made of?

ASH plates are made from palm sheaths that fall from areca palm trees, pressed into shape with heat. Documented material details are listed on each product's spec sheet.

What are the ASH soup cup and to-go box made of?

Molded sugarcane fiber (bagasse) — not palm leaf. They are made for takeout, soups, sides and leftovers.

What are the ASH drinking cups made of?

The hot cup is plant-fiber paper with a corn-based PLA lid. The cold cup and its lids are clear plant-based PLA and are for cold drinks only.

Why does every plate look different?

Each sheath has its own grain and tone. Variation in colour and texture is natural and expected.

Are ASH plates microwave- or oven-safe?

We only publish heat and food-contact information when it is backed by supplier documentation. Check the spec sheet on each product page; if it says “Awaiting supplier documentation”, we don't yet make that claim.

Are ASH plates certified compostable?

ASH does not currently claim any certification. Any certification will appear as a verified line on the spec sheet, linked to a supplier document.

How do I dispose of them?

Dispose of in food-waste or compost collection where accepted locally.
