Fantastic business that I wish all the best too and will be using a lot more as it develops but not the fastest delivery. A little lacking in stock being available. Open ended on delivery dates/times.... See more

We used the single-use alternatives products for the 5 film shoots we were working on this month and we couldn't be happier. As film productions, it's always difficult to find ways to be a little g... See more

I wish it was easier to recycle the products I bought. Cups need commercial composting and can’t be done in my local area. Pity

Thank you for your review Chris. There are waste management companies across the UK that do take products that require commercial composting. Some of our suppliers also offer postback services and local authority collections are improving. We still think you've done the right thing, read more https://singleusealternatives.co.uk/ten-reasons-why-we-believe-compostables-beat-single-use-plastics/

Thank you again Richard, I hope you had a good iced latte season using those plant based cups you ordered. Don't forget, we have a range of hot cups and lids, all made from plants not oil, instock for your autumn season. Adrian
Good communication
Items were out of stock when I ordered but they kept me informed and they were promptly dispatched to me as soon as they arrived in stock.

Thank you Kate, appreciate the positive review and your repeat business. Adrian
Great company
I am so happy to have found this company. The prices are very reasonable and I could buy plates and cutleries which are compostable and eco to use when organising a birthday party in the park. The service was very good.
The only aspect that could be improved is the delivery: the parcel eventually arrived but I had some issues in getting in touch with the courier to ask them another time for my delivery as I was not going to be at home at the notified time. So, for the future, it would be good to have a way to be able to get in touch with the delivery man.

Those produce trays, made from plants not polystyrene, are proving really popular with streetfood customers and butchers across the UK (especially ahead of the single use plastic ban of polystyrene trays this October). Pleased you liked the samples and went on to purchase. Adrian
