Polycarbonate Tableware

Swixz Polycarbonate Tableware is crafted from high-quality polycarbonate, offering unparalleled durability and safety, making it an excellent choice for care homes and early years settings. While Swixz Melamine Tableware is a cost-effective option, polycarbonate provides superior benefits that justify the investment for those seeking the highest standards.

Why Choose Polycarbonate Over Melamine?

Enhanced Durability: Polycarbonate is virtually unbreakable, offering greater impact resistance than melamine. This makes it ideal for environments where accidents are common, such as with children or elderly individuals. Unlike melamine, which can chip or crack over time, polycarbonate withstands daily wear and tear, ensuring a longer lifespan.

Safe for All Uses: Unlike melamine, which is not microwave-safe, polycarbonate can be safely used in microwaves without the risk of damage or warping. This makes it more versatile for various food service needs, particularly in care settings where warming food directly on the plate is often necessary.

Lightweight and User-Friendly: Similar to melamine, polycarbonate tableware is lightweight, making it easy to handle for those with mobility issues or weaknesses. However, polycarbonate's superior strength means it combines lightweight convenience with a robustness that melamine cannot match.

Temperature Control: Polycarbonate tableware effectively insulates against heat, keeping food warm while ensuring that the plate, bowl, or mug remains cool to the touch—similar to melamine but with the added benefit of being suitable for microwave use.

Hygienic and Easy to Clean: Polycarbonate is non-porous, meaning it won’t absorb food particles or bacteria, ensuring higher standards of hygiene. It is also dishwasher safe, making it just as easy to maintain as melamine, but without the limitations regarding heat exposure.

Environmentally Friendly: Polycarbonate is 100% recyclable, offering an eco-friendly alternative that aligns with the increasing focus on sustainability in care homes and educational settings.

 

We offer a wide selection of Polycarbonate Bowls, Polycarbonate Side Plates, Polycarbonate Dinner Plates and Polycarbonate Cereal Bowls. Each piece is designed to be robust and vibrant, helping to distinguish between different dietary needs and adding a touch of colour to mealtimes. Bright colours have been shown to be beneficial for those living with dementia, just as with melamine, but with the added reassurance of using a material that won’t degrade or need frequent replacement.
