Frequently Asked Questions
Will this lid fit my Square Fiber Bowl?
This lid fits World Centric® 24-48 oz Compostable Square Fiber Bowls. Lid dimensions are 8.8"×8.8". Not designed for round bowls or other square bowl brands — confirm compatibility before ordering.
Can I put this lid in the microwave?
No — PLA lids are not microwave or oven safe. Remove the lid before microwaving. Maximum temperature is 110°F. Using above this temperature may cause warping.
Why is this lid not home compostable when the bowl is?
PLA requires the higher temperatures of a commercial composting facility to break down. It won't break down adequately in a home compost bin. When composting the full package, separate the lid and place it in commercial composting only.
What does "vented" mean — won't it let cold air out?
The vents release steam and pressure rather than significantly affecting temperature. They prevent condensation from forming on the lid interior, keeping food from getting wet and soggy during transport — especially important for salads and grain bowls.
