Wow your customers with your eco-friendly approach to coffee takeout packaging!
Which food packaging is safe?
Every food packaging item available on the Packhelp website guarantees food safety, as it is crafted from officially approved materials specifically designed for food packaging. These are mainly paper, FSC-certified cartonboard and cardboard, sugarcane, PET plastic, glass, and plant pulp such as palm leaf.
While the outer layer coating on these materials may vary, rest assured that all coatings utilised by Packhelp are entirely food-safe. Whether it's the traditional options like PP and PE coatings or the bio-based alternatives such as PLA and CPLA coatings, all comply with the stringent directives concerning food security.
Is takeaway packaging recyclable?
The recyclability of your takeaway boxes and food containers depends on the materials they are made from. For instance, paper and cardboard are generally recyclable unless they are coated with a PP layer. However, if your paper bag or cardboard box becomes greasy, it becomes unsuitable for recycling. On the other hand, PET plastic can be easily recycled - just rinse it with water and place it in a recycling bin. Unfortunately, when it comes to polystyrene packaging, such as Styrofoam, recycling options are limited as it is typically not recyclable.
Are food containers biodegradable?
Food boxes, containers and bags can indeed be biodegradable. At Packhelp, we provide a diverse selection of takeaway packaging options crafted materials such as paper, sugarcane, palm leaf pulp, and cartonboard. To ensure that the packaging you choose is biodegradable, we recommend checking the "Eco properties options" section on the product page. For more information about our range of eco-conscious packaging, please go to our Sustainability Hub.
Is takeaway packaging compostable?
Uncoated, plant-based packaging can indeed be compostable. Packhelp specialises in providing compostable food packaging primarily made from sugarcane-based materials. The main ingredient in this material is bagasse, which is the fibrous residue remaining after extracting juice from sugarcane. This innovative material has been making waves in the packaging industry because it’s sturdy, greaseproof, and can naturally decompose without leaving causing pollution.
What’s the difference between recyclable, biodegradable and compostable food packaging?
Everything you need to know about this differentiation is clearly defined on our Sustainability Hub page. But here’s the gist.
Recyclable means materials that can be broken down, restored and repurposed. Biodegradable packaging decomposes into natural elements, and compostable packaging breaks down into compost in industrial composting plants.
Are food containers airtight?
In general, food containers like kraft and sugarcane boxes are not airtight in the slightest. But there is a special type of packaging that is fully airtight, and that’s heat sealing containers. Packhelp’s sealing food containers can be closed shut with heat-sealing foil. This type of box closure not only protects your food from the air but also prevents leaks and spills.
Are food containers microwave-safe?
The majority of Packhelp's food containers and boxes are designed to be microwave-safe and suitable for freezer storage. This feature is crucial for customers who wish to preserve a meal for later consumption. It’s also valuable for bakeries and ready-made food stores. With these containers, you can conveniently store and reheat your meals without compromising their quality.
