Yes, compostable plates, utensils, and napkins are available for purchase. All platters come with appropriate serving utensils.

We’re deeply committed to sourcing the best, most sustainable products that are full of flavor so you can choose with confidence knowing your next meal will be a memorable, delicious one. But if there’s ever a time when it’s not, for any reason, please contact us. We promise we’ll make it right.

From our platters, bowls, lids, to the dressing containers and serving ware, and the paper lining and tape, nearly all of our packaging is now designed to compost and nurture the environment. Our aluminum hot catering dishes and dessert glass jars are fully recyclable, staying true to our B Corp commitment to a Zero Waste future, where 90% of our materials are reused or recycled. The few remaining, non-recyclable items are cake and pie boxes, as well as coffee urns, but don’t worry, we’re not done with our quest yet!

At Bi-Rite, we consider our beautiful planet a key member of our community and we have immense respect for the hard work it takes to grow, raise, and craft good food, which is why we’re a Certified B Corp, and on a path to being a Zero Waste company (reusing or recycling 90% of our products and materials). To achieve that goal, we knew we had to find new packaging for our housemade food. We started with our Catering packaging and have been testing different options for the past 18 months to select the packaging that not only meets our environmental and food safety needs, but also continues to provide you with an appealing design for your guests. Most of our Catering items will now arrive in fully compostable packaging. Our hot food items will continue to come in recyclable aluminum trays, and we’re still serving some of our dessert in recyclable glass jars, to ensure food safety and quality are maintained during delivery. We're incredibly excited to take this step forward together!

We spent 18 months testing different packaging to ensure the same incredible food quality and presentation you’ve come to expect from us. While we think we’ve found the best compostable solutions currently available on the market, and no longer have wood or plastic trays available, if you have concerns, please let us know, as your feedback helps us improve.

Unfortunately, there isn’t currently compostable packaging sturdy enough to accommodate our larger serving sizes, so we’ve had to discontinue them for the time being. We appreciate your understanding and do apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

No, we did not increase prices as part of these packaging changes.
