When it comes to serving food to consumers on the go, disposable food containers offer a convenient way to present the food both beautifully and hygienically. But this convenience doesn’t have to cost the earth with BioPak food packaging made from plant fibre.
Not all food takeaway containers are created equal! Conventional disposable takeaway containers like polystyrene food packaging and plastic takeaway containers are made from fossil fuels. After a short useful life of approximately 20 minutes, plastic disposable containers usually take hundreds of years to break down into tiny microplastics that pollute the environment.
At BioPak, we manufacture better alternatives to plastic takeaway containers: single-use food containers made from rapidly renewable, responsibly sourced resources like plastic-free sugarcane pulp mixed with other plant fibre, bioplastic and paperboard.
BioCane Takeaway Containers
Our BioCane range is made from reclaimed and rapidly renewable, plastic-free plant fibre and sugarcane pulp – a by-product of the sugar-refining industry. Our new range of takeaway containers are made with no added PFAS, and will be home compostable to Australian standards (AS5810) in September 2024. To be certified compostable and carry the Home Compostable logo, suitable biopolymer materials must undergo a costly and stringent test regime outlined by AS 5810-2010 and be carried out by recognised independent and accredited laboratories. It takes around six months for a new product range obtain a home compost certification.Look our for the compostability logos on the product and, more importantly, the company’s specific licence number. The manufacturer’s licence number can be verified in the Australian Bioplastics Association database. Our range of plant fibre takeaway containers includes bagasse clamshells, plant fibre square and rectangle containers, bagasse bowls, and sauce cups with lids.
