What are the containers made of?

Our compostable food containers are made from renewable plant-based materials like bagasse (sugarcane fiber), PLA (corn-based bioplastic), and bamboo fiber. These materials provide a sustainable alternative to plastic and Styrofoam.

Are they truly compostable, and how long does it take for them to break down?

Yes! Our containers are certified compostable and break down within 90-180 days in an industrial composting facility. Unlike plastic, which can take centuries to degrade, these containers turn into nutrient-rich soil.

Are they microwave and freezer safe?

Yes, they are microwave-safe for reheating and freezer-safe for storage. They maintain their structure without breaking down.

Do they leak or get soggy with liquids and oily foods?

Our containers are engineered to be leak-resistant and oil-resistant. The natural fibers absorb minimal moisture, keeping your food secure.

Are they certified compostable (BPI, ASTM D6400, etc.)?

Yes, our products are BPI-certified and meet ASTM D6400 standards for compostability. This means they have been rigorously tested to ensure they break down in a composting environment.

How do your prices compare to plastic or Styrofoam containers?

While compostable containers may have a slightly higher upfront cost, they provide long-term benefits by reducing environmental impact, improving your brand image, and helping meet upcoming plastic regulations.

Do you offer custom printing on products?

Yes, we offer eco-friendly custom printing services for cups, containers and packaging products. Contact us to discuss branding options and minimum order quantities.
