Takeaway Containers & Lids

When it comes to serving food to consumers on the go, hot food takeaway containers offer a convenient way to present food both beautifully and hygienically. But this convenience doesn’t have to cost the earth with BioPak’s eco-friendly food packaging. 

Why You Shouldn’t Use Plastic Containers 

Not all food takeaway containers are created equal! Conventional plastic takeaway containers, like polystyrene, are made from fossil fuels. After a short useful life of approximately 20 minutes, these containers usually end up in landfill, where they take hundreds of years to break down into tiny microplastics that pollute the environment. 

Choose Plants Over Plastic

At BioPak, we manufacture eco takeaway food containers made from rapidly renewable resources like sugarcane pulp, bioplastic, and paperboard. We carry an extensive range of food packaging to cater to all industries, and we can even add your own custom branding to your disposables, too. We are proud to donate 5% of profits from sales of our food and beverage packaging towards positive change.

Why the Term ‘Biodegradable’ Is Misleading

When shopping for biodegradable containers for food, it’s important to remember that the term ‘biodegradable’ can sometimes be used in a misleading manner to greenwash unsustainable packaging. Just because something is marketed as ‘biodegradable’ doesn’t mean it will actually biodegrade as advertised. In fact, these products may break down into smaller fragments, but they will not necessarily disappear.

BioCane Disposable Food Containers

Our BioCane range is made from reclaimed and rapidly renewable sugarcane pulp — a by-product of the sugar-refining industry. Our range of plastic-free bagasse food containers includes bagasse clamshells, sugarcane square containers, bagasse rectangle containers, bagasse bowls, and sauce cups with lids.

BioBoard Takeaway Containers

Our premium paperboard range includes paper bowls with lids, takeaway food trays, pizza boxes, burger boxes, paper trays, clamshell packaging, Chinese noodle boxes, paper hot food boxes, and sandwich wedges. This industrially compostable range includes FSC™ certified rectangular paper containers lined with bioplastic made from plants, not oil – perfect for hot, saucy, and greasy food. Available in four sizes with matching PLA-lined paper, PP, and PET lids.

Clear Takeaway Containers

Do you prefer clear takeaway containers? Our clear deli bowls with lids and sauce cups with lids are made from Ingeo™ bioplastic. These containers are great for when you need to show what’s inside, like salad bowls, desserts, and more.

If you’re stocking up on eco-friendly food packaging for your catering or hospitality business, you might also be interested in our disposable takeaway cups, plates and trays, cutlery, straws, bags, and paper bags. They share the same environmentally-friendly credentials as our takeaway containers, meaning you can serve everything on your menu in a sustainable disposable that won’t hurt the planet. 

BioPak also provides free next-working-day delivery on orders over £75, so buy takeaway containers with lids today and know you are making a positive choice for the planet.
