PFAS score
Greener Solutions · Disposable Plates
Compostable Dessert Plate 6" 60ct 3-Pack
Skip until coating details disclosed, compostable claims don't rule out PFAS in barrier layers.
Greener Solutions makes no public statement about PFAS in this compostable plate line. Compostable food packaging often uses grease-resistant coatings that may contain PFAS to meet FDA contact standards, though newer bio-based alternatives exist.

Why this grade
Waterproof / stain-resistant treatment
water-repellent coating treatments have historically used PFAS.
Category baseline
food packaging is a category where PFAS exposure is more common.
Vague safety claims only
Uses vague language ("eco-friendly", "clean") without a specific PFAS statement.
What we don’t know
This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 35% confidence. It is not a lab result.
No independent PFAS lab test is on record for this exact product. A lab test could move the score in either direction.
The brand has not made a specific, verifiable PFAS-free statement, so part of this score reflects that missing disclosure rather than a confirmed material.
Formulations and coatings change between production runs. Always check the current label before buying.
