Compartment Plates Wholesale — 2CP, 3CP, 4CP & 5CP for HoReCa

Q: What sizes and compartment layouts are available for wholesale orders?

Ecodyne manufactures 4 core compartment plate configurations: 10-inch 2-compartment (2CP), 10-inch 3-compartment (3CP), 12-inch 4-compartment (4CP), and 12x10-inch 5-compartment thali trays (5CP). Custom shapes and section depths are available via dedicated CNC mould engineering for high-volume annual contracts.

Q: Do sauces or liquid gravies migrate between plate compartments?

No. Our heat-pressing process utilizes high hydraulic pressure (200°C moulding) to produce deep, rigid internal divider ridges. These raised walls create a secure seal that prevents hot gravies, sauces, and wet side dishes from bleeding into neighboring food sections.

Q: Are Ecodyne palm leaf compartment plates food-grade and certified for export?

Yes. All compartment plates undergo rigorous third-party laboratory testing. They pass LFGB §30/§31 parameters for the German market, comply with EU Regulation 1935/2004 for food-contact safety, are certified EN 13432 compostable, and carry USDA BioPreferred recognition.

Q: What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for compartment plates?

The minimum order volume is one 40-foot high-cube (40ft HC) container. Buyers may consolidate multiple compartment plate sizes (e.g., mixing 3CP and 5CP thali trays with standard round plates) within a single container at no additional SKU surcharge.

Engineered Multi-Section Areca Palm Leaf Trays

Ecodyne Tableware manufactures high-rigidity areca palm leaf compartment plates designed specifically for commercial catering, corporate lunch programs, airline galleys, and multi-dish dining.

Unlike standard disposable pulp or paper trays that warp under hot gravies, our palm leaf compartment plates are heat-pressed at 200°C under heavy hydraulic pressure. This process creates high-density internal divider walls that prevent liquid, sauce, and curry cross-contamination between sections.

Structural Integrity: Deep-moulded divider ridges ensure complete separation of liquid and solid foods.
Thermal Performance: Oven safe to 200°C for reheating, microwave safe, and freezer safe without structural weakening.
100% Natural Material: Pressed directly from naturally fallen areca sheaths — zero coatings, waxes, microplastics, or fluorochemical (PFAS) additives.
Commercial Compostability: Fully bio-degrades in commercial and home composting conditions according to EN 13432 guidelines.

Factory Excellence & E-E-A-T Assurance

Rigorous Quality Control for High-Speed Logistics

Exporting natural palm leaf tableware requires strict moisture management and micro-biological control to withstand ocean transit without warping or mold growth.

Stage 1 · Hydro Washing & Sterilization

Dual Wash & UV Conveyor Sanity

Raw sheaths are scrubbed in high-pressure water tanks to remove soil debris, followed by inline post-press UV sterilizers to ensure strict hygiene standards before inner shrink wrapping.

Audit Standard: ISO 9001:2015 QC Protocol

Stage 2 · Thermal Stability

200°C High-Pressure Hydraulic Moulding

Our custom CNC steel dies apply uniform heat and pressure, locking the natural cellulose fibers into rigid shape without needing glue, resin, or synthetic additives.

Testing: LFGB §30/§31 Food Contact Pass

Stage 3 · Moisture Control

< 10% Moisture Kiln Drying

Every batch spends 24 hours in temperature-controlled drying chambers to bring moisture levels below 10%, ensuring complete stability during 40-day container voyages.

Export Guarantee: Zero Mold Risk in Transit
