Food Containers Biodegradable

Buyer’s Guide to Choosing Biodegradable Food Containers

Biodegradable and compostable food containers provide takeaway packaging options for cafés, restaurants, caterers, food trucks and meal-delivery businesses. Insinc’s range includes sugarcane clamshells, kraft food boxes, hot-food containers, deli containers, salad bowls, portion pots, pizza boxes, plates and compartment trays.

Available sizes range from small 15ml portion pots to 1,650ml hot-food containers, with matching paper, PLA, PET and RPET lids offered for selected product systems.

Which Food Container Should You Choose?

Sugarcane and BioCane clamshells suit burgers, meals and takeaway dishes, while kraft boxes are useful for chips, sandwiches and other dry foods. Round deli containers and salad bowls provide clear presentation for salads, cold dishes and prepared ingredients.

Hot-food containers are available from 190ml to 1,650ml, with flat or dome lids for selected sizes. Portion pots suit sauces, dressings and samples, while compartment containers keep different parts of a meal separated.

Are All Lids and Containers Compatible?

No. Lids must match the container’s shape, rim diameter, capacity and product range. For example, 90mm lids fit selected 6–10oz hot containers, while 115mm lids suit many 12–32oz sizes. Deli, BioBowl, Octa and compartment containers use their own compatible lids.

Biodegradable, compostable and recyclable describe different properties. Check the material and certification of both the base and lid, then confirm whether your local waste provider or commercial composting facility accepts them. PET and RPET lids should not automatically be treated as compostable.
