New Bagasse Tableware Lineup for 2026: What Is New and Where to See It

Zhong Xin Ecoware Technology (Thailand) Co., Ltd. has expanded its bagasse and molded fiber tableware lineup for the 2026 season. This article covers what is new in the range, why the new fiber-lid formats matter for compostability documentation, and where buyers can review the products in person at Canton Fair Phase 2 (23-27 October).

Bagasse and molded fiber tableware lineup: plates, cups, bowls and cutlery in natural and white pulp

If you are sourcing molded fiber tableware for foodservice, distribution or private label programs, the lineup below shows which formats are now available across drink carriers, takeaway meals, bowls, trays and lids.

Quick Summary

  • The 2026 lineup adds drink carriers, hinged takeaway containers, 2-compartment containers with fiber lids, deeper bowls, trays and lid options.
  • Fiber lids make the whole container a single material stream, which simplifies compostability documentation for EU and North American programs.
  • Both natural and white pulp finishes are available from the same tooling, so a single supplier can match different market expectations.
  • Certification and test documentation for buyer review includes BPI, EN 13432 / OK compost, FDA food-contact, LFGB, PFAS-related reports, BRCGS and ISO files.
  • See the full lineup at Canton Fair Phase 2, 23-27 October 2026: Hall 5.2 A12-13 / B11-12 and Hall 15.3 G23-24 / H21-22.

Why a Fiber Lid Matters More Than a New Box

Across the market, many products sold as compostable food containers are still a fiber body with a plastic lid. The body carries the compostability story; the lid is polypropylene or PET.

The new 2-compartment container in this lineup uses a fiber lid in the same material as the body. That single detail changes the paperwork: one material stream, one certification path, and no separate explanation for a plastic component when a buyer assembles an EU or North American compliance file.

For procurement teams building a documentation pack, the practical question is not only whether a supplier makes a compostable box, but whether the lid keeps pace with the body.

Natural Pulp and White Pulp From One Toolset

The lineup runs the same structures in both natural and white pulp. This is not simply a color choice. Running both finishes requires both pulp formulation and tooling to be in place for the same structure.

  • White pulp suits chain restaurant and retail programs where a clean, uniform look matters.
  • Natural pulp suits brands and organic channels that want the fiber texture to be visible.

For importers, one supplier covering both finishes means one set of documentation, one packing standard and fewer suppliers to manage across markets.

Where Launch Speed Comes From

Range expansion in molded fiber is not a design question alone. Three capabilities decide how fast a new format reaches production:

CapabilityWhy it matters for a new format
Tooling coverageNew formats can be built as variants of proven structures, which shortens the trial cycle.
Process controlDrink carriers, deep bowls and textured bowls each need different forming and pressing parameters.
Capacity and deliveryLaunch windows are set by the buyer's program date, not by the supplier's convenience.

New formats are usually built as variants of proven structures, which shortens the tooling and sampling cycle. Capacity is not committed to a single line, so a new format can be scheduled alongside existing programs.

What It Means for Distributors and Importers

  • One supplier for a full set. Containers, bowls, trays and lids from the same manufacturing base keeps quality standards, lead times and responsibility in one place.
  • Compliance is simpler. Same-material lids and both pulp finishes reduce extra tooling and repeat testing when a program moves between markets.
  • Range depth is a selection criterion. A single format can be copied; continuous range expansion is a sign of a system behind it.

Certification and Documentation for Buyer Review

Buyers sourcing molded fiber tableware usually assemble a compliance pack before approving a supplier or an order. The following document categories are available for procurement review:

Document categoryWhat it supportsTypical buyer use
BPI compostability documentationCompostability claims for applicable bagasse and molded fiber products in North American commercial composting programs.US distributors, foodservice brands and compostable packaging programs.
EN 13432 / OK compost documentationCompostability evidence for applicable product families and markets.EU importers, retailers and brand programs.
FDA food-contact documentationFood-contact suitability review for molded fiber and bagasse food packaging materials.US importers, restaurant groups, retailers and private-label buyers.
LFGB and EU food-contact filesMarket-specific food-contact review for European destinations.EU buyers, retailers and distributors.
PFAS-free declaration and total fluorine reportsSupport for PFAS-free specifications, including state-level material reviews.Buyers with PFAS-free food packaging requirements.
BRCGS Packaging Materials, ISO 9001 / ISO 14001Factory-level packaging safety, hygiene, traceability and management system controls.Retail, foodservice and audit-driven buyers.

Scope can be checked in third-party databases: the BPI certified products database lists both the Thailand manufacturing entity and the group manufacturing entity. Certificates and test reports are issued for specific products, materials and sites, so buyers should confirm that the scope, validity date and product family match the ordered SKU and destination market before bulk production.

The 2026 lineup includes 4-cup and 2-cup drink carriers, white pulp hinged containers, 2-compartment containers with fiber lids, square deep bowls, oval bowls with a woven texture finish, rectangular and shallow trays, plus PP lids and molded cup formats. Available dimensions and carton quantities are confirmed per order.

Are the containers available with fiber lids instead of plastic lids?

Documentation categories available for procurement review include BPI compostability documents, EN 13432 and OK compost documents, FDA food-contact information, LFGB and EU food-contact files, PFAS-related declarations or total fluorine reports, and factory and quality system documents such as BRCGS Packaging Materials, ISO 9001 and ISO 14001.
