PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Why specify ES-TC-01
ES-TC-01 is our compostable tablecloth film roll — specified for restaurants, hotels, caterers, and event operations that need a transparent, waterproof table cover but want to eliminate single-use PE/PEVA from their waste stream..
The differentiator is film-hand. At 20–25 μm, our PBAT+PLA co-extruded film drapes exactly like a conventional PE tablecloth — soft, clear, and quiet — rather than the stiff, crinkly feel of cheaper starch-based alternatives.
Where it sits in our range. ES-TC-01 is your volume workhorse — specified in 50 m or 100 m rolls for high-turnover restaurant and banquet use.
When not to specify it. If your operation requires reusability (wipe-down, multi-day use), this is not the right product — compostable films begin to degrade with prolonged moisture contact.

HONEST TRANSPARENCY
Limitations & Storage
Not designed for multi-day reuse — compostable films will begin to soften with prolonged moisture contact. For venues requiring wipe-down and re-use over multiple services, consider reusable linen or our heavier-gauge 50 μm variant (available on request). Not suitable for sustained contact with liquids above 60°C (140°F). Store in a cool, dry environment away from direct UV; shelf life is 12 months from date of manufacture.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Does it feel like plastic?
Yes — the PBAT/PLA co-extruded film has a soft, flexible drape nearly indistinguishable from conventional PE tablecloth. It does not crinkle, crack, or feel papery like starch-based alternatives. At guest distance, most diners cannot tell it is not a standard plastic tablecloth — until they read the compostability label.
How do I dispose of it after use?
Roll it up with food scraps and napkins still on it — the entire bundle is certified compostable. In regions with organic-waste collection, it goes directly into the green bin. OK Compost HOME certification means it also breaks down in a well-maintained backyard compost heap within 12 weeks. No special facility required.
What widths are available, and can I get a custom size?
Stock widths are 120 cm, 140 cm, and 160 cm — covering standard restaurant tables from 2-top to 10-top with a single drape. Custom widths from 80 cm to 200 cm are available at MOQ 1 ton. Roll length is also customisable (20m/50m/100m/150m) to match your dispenser system.
