Christine, hope the containers worked well for your 'cook for the NHS' initiative and we can help you and your fellow 'furloughedfoodies' at some point in the future as we return to some sort of 'normal'.
What can I say.... SUA, you are amazing!
Having used SUA for several months now on a regular basis I can recommend them 100%. Adrian has been an absolute star in making sure what I need is there and doing his upmost to get it to me as quickly as possible (even during Covid-19).
I have explained my needs to him (I make vegan savoury muffins) and he has done his best to source the products I need at a very reasonable price.
It's all about small businesses supporting each other. I will continue to use SUA in the future as they have been so helpful. Well done on supporting our planet and us indi businesses.

Well, what can I say Sue, but thank you. Glad to have been able to help you out over the past few months with your compostable muffin takeaway boxes.

Thanks for your order Jeff. We've found those 90l compostable bags really good quality from the Compost Bag Company. We now offer a broader range of home compostable caddy liners now too.
Great service and product

Andrew, I'm thinking you'll be using those deli containers for delivery of your micro greens. Loving the idea of veggie-confetti.co.uk, the Wasabina mustard looks interesting!

Thanks Daniel. Liking the idea of your reheat at home taco kit in these difficult times pinchnpull.co.uk/delivery hoping the portion pots & boxes come in handy. Don't forget we also offer compostable food prep gloves and binbags.

Great to be able to support customers like you Chloe, in reducing single use plastic waste. We've found those 90l compostable bags really good quality. We now offer a broader range of home compostable home waste caddy liners now too.
Brilliant product and service.
Fabulous service, with very helpful and thoughtful staff ( Adrian was a great help )
great planet-friendly compostable food containers and lids that have worked really well for batch freezing my home cooking. Would definitely recommend.

Glad that we could be of service to you Jennifer. Those takeaway bases and soup containers I think are really good for batch freezing, enjoy the fruits of your labour. We offer larger takeaway and soup containers too.
Personal service and great products
Personal service and great products, feels good to not have to get packages of 500-1000 units in one order as I have a very small and limited storage space.

Good to have been working with you over the past few months Rickard. Well done for doing the takeaway for customers of daunsdeli.com have a look at our new takeaway tray that's oven proof, microwavable, freezable and home compostable.
Disappointing advertising, read the small print!
I was disappointed that despite the cartons being advertised with lids, they did not arrive with them, the small print suggests that you need to buy these separately which when you are buying liquid containers seems pointless.
Out of principle I will source the lids from an alternative source and not use the service again.

As a startup, all customer feedback is genuinely appreciated, thank you. We'll continue to work harder to further improve our content. We hope that we will be able to work together again. The more customers we have working with us as partners, the bigger difference we can all make together.
Superb range of products and outstanding eco ethos
Absolutely superb products and my customers are so happy to know that I’m now using compostable products for my bakery. A great range of products available and a quick and easy ordering process with efficient delivery. Supporting and using this business makes a real statement about my business and ensures my customers know that I am committed to support the battle against single use plastics and for a better environment and future for my kids too.

Thanks Phil, exciting to be on the same journey as your OneMileBakery business in Tadcaster. Happy to support locally where we can at this difficult time.

Thanks Dawn, those Element Origo based boxes are really great quality. Did you know they were microwave and freezer safe too.
I love the vegan & gluten free bars, cakes & chocolates you have on your Raw Indulgence facebook page #yummy

Great to be working with you at Big Sizzlers Street Food. Steak burgers with 'Dixie Dust' sounds intriguing!? Don't forget we can also support you with compostable cups, lids and of course napkins.

Thanks for your order, great to be supporting a real ice cream shop locally here in Knaresborough with sustainable alternatives to single use plastics. Good luck with your startup. If can help you on social media at this difficult time, let us know.
Recyclable products at extremely competitive prices
As a small charity, we have been looking to source alternatives to our polystyrene throw-away products for quite some time. Adrian at Single Use Alternatives was extremely helpful in recommending suitable products. We have now switched away from single use cups, forks and chip trays with minimal extra cost to the charity. Looking forward to more products coming available at prices competitive to single use plastics.

Its just brilliant to be supporting a local charity Vicky, thank you for your repeat orders, we love those 'I'm a green cup' cold drink cups (they are exactly what they say they are on the cup, hey!). We continue to broaden our product ranges with innovative sustainable products.
Finally a greener film set :)
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 greener and this incredible start-up helped us achieve this goal :)
All the products were durable, useful and worked perfectly on our busy set. Would highly recommend! Particularly loved the plates and cups as it's always so difficult to find sturdy and actually usable alternatives to plastic.
10/10 and will definitely be ordering it again!

Nick, glad we could get those cups to you in time recently, thanks for the repeat. Good luck later this summer with the hall opening. Let us know if we can support on social in these difficult times.
All good!
The cups arrived quickly. They look good and seem practical. We haven't had the event we bought them for yet, but I think they will do the job just fine. Nice to be able to go eco-friendly without breaking the bank.

Thanks Mel, we love the 'I'm a green cup' writing on those cups. Best of luck with your event.
We launched SingleUseAlternatives to make it really easy for people to buy into alternatives to single use plastics, as you say, 'without breaking the bank'.
