Sugarfiber Compostable Paper Plates Review 2023 | Eco-friendly, PFAS-free, biodegradable
We tried Sugarfiber’s compostable paper plates at our latest family BBQ, and here’s what we thought…
The Top Line: It’s a BUY for more special occasions. Overall we had a positive experience with SUGARFIBER’s 10 inch compostable paper plates, they are very heavy duty (no leaks or plates breaking down) and appear very ‘premium’, especially with the interesting floral border design. We love that the plates uses no artificial coating, petroleum, wax, chlorine or bleach. However, we may use these in more special occasions where we really want the design, as there are other compostable options that are less pricy.
The Breakdown:
Cost & Products: $15.99 for 50 pack.
How ‘Clean’ Is This? Made of 100% non-toxic sustainable plant byproduct material left from production of sugar from sugarcane. Food safe and contains no artificial coating, petroleum, wax, chlorine or bleach
Packaging: Ships folded flat with very little packaging.
Purchasing & Shipping: Quick checkout and shipping on Amazon
Good to know: These plates are microwaveable and freezer safe!
The Experience
We were looking for a heavy duty compostable dinner plate for outdoor grilling and entertaining.
SUGARFIBER’s 10 inch compostable paper plates are super sturdy, holding up even with liquids and sauces
Thick and high quality feel, significantly better than a normal paper plate
Freezer and microwave safe!
Design really pops for special occasions
Overall, very happy with the experience and will purchase for ‘nicer’ grilling occasions!
The Cost
We compared SUGARFIBER’s 10 inch compostable paper plates with other options, ranging from:
Basic paper plate options from brands like Amazon Basics and Dixie Paper Plates
Heavy duty options like Kingsford Heavy Duty Soak Proof and Glad Printed Heavy Duty Paper Plates
Other compostable options like Susty Party and Stack Man’s
SUGARFIBER’s was the most expensive option we compared against, and we attribute it to the floral border design. However, it is worth noting that Compostable options are generally more expensive, but in-line with heavy duty plates that aren’t compostable.
The Good:
✔ Thick and high quality feel, significantly better than a normal paper plate
✔ Freezer and microwave safe!
✔ Very sturdy, leak-proof
✔ Beautiful border design, and nice shape that holds food/sauces well
✔ 100% natural, food safe, plastic and tree-free, BPI certified
✔ Compostable, can be broken down to become plant fertilizer
✔ No artificial coating, petroleum, wax, chlorine or bleach
The Bad:
✗ Not a complaint, but a bit more on the pricey side; we will reserve for nicer grilling occasions
Our Recommendation:
It’s a BUY for more special occasions.

We're on a mission to reduce our personal carbon footprint with small, hopefully easy, changes in our home to fight against climate change. This means we're looking for products that may be all natural, ideally zero waste, reusable or compostable -- while still being affordable!
