Based on Stack Man's site, the Amazon.ca listing, The Reduce Report's hands-on test of Stack Man's 7 inch bagasse plate and a Sustainable Kitchen Expert guide to compostable plates. No independent test of the 9 inch size was found, so performance themes come from the same brand's 7 inch plate..

What it does
Brown, unbleached 9 inch dinner plates molded from sugarcane fiber, sold by Stack Man in a pack of 125.
- Heavy-duty molded plate that Stack Man describes as oil resistant
- For hot or cold meals, per the maker
- Stack Man claims it is several times stronger than standard disposable plates
- Same line includes 7 and 10 inch plates, oval platters, compartment plates and a white version
- Compostable in commercial composting facilities
A solid dinner size disposable plate for parties, barbecues and potlucks if you want something sturdier than paper and free of plastic or wax coating. Stack Man states the line is BPI certified and PFAS-free, which matters if your compost program is strict. The trade-off is cost: a hands-on test of the same brand's smaller plate found it well made but priced near the top of the compostable field.

Questions
Are Stack Man plates BPI certified?
Stack Man's site says its bagasse plates are BPI certified and PFAS-free. The Amazon title for this pack does not repeat the claim, so check the box if certification matters to your compost program.
Can Stack Man bagasse plates go in the microwave?
Yes. Stack Man says they are microwave safe, and The Reduce Report also listed the brand's 7 inch plate as microwave safe.
Can I compost these plates at home?
Bagasse plates are generally certified for industrial composting, which uses higher heat than a backyard pile. Commercial compost or a city green bin is the safer route.
Are these the same as the white Stack Man plates?
They are the same 9 inch shape and count. This version is the natural unbleached brown; a white version is sold separately.
