Quality chopsticks for quality foods
Food-grade melamine, tapered at one end for better grip and control. Safe for dishwashers, microwaves and fridges. Comes in 10 pairs to keep your costs down and save you more.
The food packaging available on the Packhelp website ensures food safety by utilising officially recognised food packaging materials. These are primarily paper, FSC-certified cartonboard and cardboard, sugarcane, PET plastic, glass, and plant pulp such as palm leaf.
It is worth noting that the outer layer coatings applied to these materials can influence their food safety properties. However, at Packhelp, all of these coatings are completely food-safe. Whether it's the conventional options like PP and PE coatings or the bio-based alternatives like PLA and CPLA coatings, all of them adhere to food security directives and regulations.
The recyclability of your takeaway boxes and food containers depends on the materials they are made from. For instance, paper and cardboard can generally be recycled unless they have a PP layer coating. PE coating is generally fine for recycling. However, it's important to note that if your paper bag or cardboard box gets greasy, it becomes unsuitable for recycling.
On the other hand, when PET plastic is dirty, a simple rinse with water makes it recyclable again. Unfortunately, there are limited options for recycling packaging made from polystyrene (PS). Generally, PS cannot be recycled in most cases.
Yes, food boxes, containers and bags can be biodegradable. Packhelp offers a wide range of takeaway packaging made from materials like paper, sugarcane, palm leaf pulp and cartonboard. Please make sure to check our “Eco properties options” section with every product you order to make sure it’s biodegradable. Learn more about our eco-friendly packaging materials on our Sustainability Hub page.
Sure, uncoated takeaway packaging can be compostable, as long as it’s made from plant-based materials. Packhelp’s compostable food packaging is mainly sugarcane based. The primary component of this material is bagasse, the fibrous residue left behind after extracting juice from sugarcane. This material has been revolutionising the packaging industry as it can break down naturally without leaving harmful substances behind or contributing to long-term pollution.
All the information about this distinction is readily available on our Sustainability Hub page. In short:
Recyclable refers to materials that can be broken down, restored, and repurposed. Biodegradable packaging naturally decomposes into natural elements over time. On the other hand, compostable packaging is designed to break down into compost specifically in industrial composting plants.
Typically, food containers such as kraft and sugarcane boxes are not airtight at all. However, there is a specific type of packaging that offers complete airtightness, and that’s sealing food containers securely closed using heat-sealing foil. This type of box closure not only effectively shields your food from exposure to air but also prevents any potential leaks or spills.
The majority of Packhelp's food containers and boxes are designed to be microwave safe and freezer-friendly. This feature is useful for customers who wish to store a meal from your restaurant for later consumption. That’s especially beneficial for bakeries and ready-made food establishments that provide cold meals intended to be conveniently heated at home.
