Description
We are excited to add 5 new sizes of our popular bagasse clamshell burger box and meal box, made from PFAS-free Sugarcane Bagasse.
Alongside our PFAS-free clamshell food containers, we are delighted to offer our range of bagasse plates made from the same material.
Bagasse is a by-product of the sugarcane industry. They are the fibres that remain after the sugarcane stalks have been crushed to extract their juice. Bagasse pulp is a highly sustainable choice of packaging material due to a renewable growth of between 2 to 3 times a year. Our bagasse burger box range is an eco-friendly alternative to polystyrene food packaging and can be composted or recycled after use.
More about PFAS in food packaging
PFAS, known as ‘forever chemicals,’ are man-made and have been used since the 1940s in products like non-stick cookware, water-repellent clothing, and food packaging due to their durability and resistance to heat, water, and oil. Although PFAS are effective, they are also harmful, persisting in the environment and accumulating in the body, which can lead to health issues.
Benefits of PFAS-Free takeaway containers and food packaging
PFAS-free food packaging doesn’t contain the harmful chemicals that would otherwise leach into food, ensuring safety, supporting a healthier environment by reducing soil and water contamination, aiding biodiversity, and aligning with regulatory trends to restrict PFAS use.
Moving towards a more sustainable future
As environmental awareness grows, demand for sustainable packaging in the food industry is rising. Innovations will lead to more eco-friendly options, simplifying sustainable practices for businesses.
We believe collaboration is key. By working together, manufacturers, suppliers, and food service providers can create packaging solutions that are environmentally safe and meet operational needs.
