The recent push to increase recycling and reduce plastic waste means that takeaway businesses often feel under pressure to use meal containers which can be disposed of conveniently and also have the potential to be recycled. At the same time, they are also still obliged to offer their customers food boxes that are able to retain heat and to keep food secure. Most businesses feel that they cannot compromise on customer satisfaction, but still want to do their best to appease local councils. With this in mind, take-away providers are searching for suppliers who offer recyclable food containers.<\/p>\n
The maker Bagasse offers a non-wood alternative to plastic containers, including sugar cane pulp, reed and bamboo boxes and trays that can be fully composted, and can be used in areas where standard trays are the norm. With these materials, the boxes are tough and durable, but are still biodegradable enough to suit the demands of most local councils. This makes it suitable for takeaway owners and for customers alike. Any business that needs to supply carry-away boxes for meals, whether they are supplying takeaways or offering ‘doggy bags’ for the end of the meal, can use Bagasse meal containers as a neat alternative to standard polystyrene containers.<\/p>\n
One of the biggest reasons for the pressure on takeaway owners is the increasing concern about damage to the environment caused by takeaway meal boxes. Businesses may find themselves being criticised for the state of the local environment, particularly where there are greener areas close to the restaurant that are being affected by the deteriorating plastic boxes. As an alternative solution, biodegradable boxes may at least help to ease people’s minds about takeaway meal waste in nearby streets, and will be more likely to conform to local authority by-laws about such waste.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
