A set of Fourier bio-composite tableware grouped on a pale linen surface in warm daylight

Bio-composite tableware

A bio-composite material for tableware.

Fourier is microwave safe, heat-safe to 180°C / 350°F, commercial dishwasher safe, food-contact compliant in UK, EU and US.

Melamine's replacement.

Porcelain's challenger.

01

The challenge

Conventional tableware fails commercial service.

Porcelain, plastic and melamine each fail in their own way (breakage, heat, finish or compliance), and none of them carry the sustainability evidence buyers now demand.

01

Porcelain breaks.

Every loss is a replacement cost. In high-volume operations, breakage quietly becomes one of the largest recurring costs you never budgeted for.

02

Plastic looks like plastic.

PP, rPET and polycarbonate alternatives don't read as premium tableware. Polycarbonate is no longer permitted for food contact in the EU.

03

Melamine fails under heat.

It increasingly fails EU 2020/1245 migration testing under heat. Microwave and heat restrictions limit its operational use.

04

No sustainability story.

Conventional materials offer no upcycled content and limited end-of-life options. Procurement teams cannot evidence the ESG claims their organisations now need.

The solution

The Fourier solution.

One bio-composite engineered to fix all four failures at once: durability, finish, compliance, and a sustainability story that passes audit.

01

Engineered to survive the kitchen.

Impact-resistant and lighter than porcelain. Fewer replacements, lower breakage cost, year on year.

02

Porcelain's finish, a composite's durability.

Plates, bowls, mugs, GN dishes, trays and cutlery. One material across the table.

03

Tested across every cycle.

Microwave safe. Food-contact compliant in UK, EU and US, verified across all three migration cycles.

04

A sustainability story that passes audit.

70%+ upcycled marine bio-minerals. GRS-certified chain-of-custody, mechanically reprocessable at end of life.

Inside the material

Four ways into the material.

What it is, how it performs, how it's certified, and where it comes from. Each opens a full specification.
