We’re delighted to share that we are partnering with Vegware, the Edinburgh-founded compostable foodservice packaging specialist with a global reach. We have been learning all about Vegware, and wanted to share some interesting facts with you too…
Vegware’s mission is simple but powerful: to make sustainability practical, visible and embedded in everyday food operations. They design and supply plant-based, compostable packaging, alongside clear guidance on how it should be collected and composted with food waste. As a fellow Edinburgh-founded organisation, Vegware shares our belief that the future of food depends on skill, craft, education and responsibility. We both believe that sustainability isn’t an add-on; it’s part of how modern kitchens should think and operate.
“We’re incredibly proud to partner with the Edinburgh New Town Cookery School,” said Kelly Falconer, Head of Marketing at Vegware. “As an Edinburgh-founded business, supporting organisations that are developing skills, talent and a deeper understanding of food really matter to us. This partnership brings together great food, great education and practical sustainability which is exactly where change happens.”
Through this partnership, Vegware will support the School with plant-based, compostable packaging, helping ensure that the exceptional food created in our kitchens is served in a way that reflects the values behind it. It’s about closing the loop – from thoughtful cooking to responsible packaging and disposal.
“We’re thrilled to be partnering with Vegware” Hannah Schlesinger Brodie, Commercial Director at Edinburgh New Town Cookery School. “Our goal is not only to teach skills for the kitchen, but also how to think about food responsibly. With Vegware on board, our students, participants and clients will see firsthand how sustainability can be practical, creative, and part of every step in the kitchen: from the ingredients to the packaging. It’s inspiring to show them that mindful cooking can really make a difference.”
We are excited to collaborate, to learn from one another, and together to support the food professionals and enthusiasts here in Edinburgh and beyond.
