Biodegradable food containers are a great way to cut down on plastic waste and promote a healthier lifestyle. They are also less toxic than their non-biodegradable counterparts and can be recycled after use.
There are several options for biodegradable food containers, including stainless steel, glass and bamboo-containing products. Look for a product that is BPA-free and made with leak-proof silicone lids.
Stainless steel is durable, rust-free, and heat resistant. It is also reusable and recyclable, making it an ideal storage option for storing foods such as pasta, rice, beans or nuts.
Glass food storage jars with stainless steel airtight lids are great for storing bulk foods and spices, while portable plastic-free lunch boxes with lockable plastic lids or colorful bamboo lids are useful for taking on the go.
Compostable paper products can be used to create sustainable takeout containers for foods such as meats, cheese and vegetables. They are a good alternative to polystyrene food containers that are unrecyclable and can be a breeding ground for bacteria.
Kraft paper is another eco-friendly alternative to packaging products with the potential to decompose into soil-building nutrients that benefit the environment. It is a great option for wrapping products and can be recycled in landfills or composted in an industrial compost facility.
Alternatively, biodegradable takeaway containers can be created using byproducts of sugar and wheat production, such as bagasse. These materials are fully compostable and inexpensive. They have a natural look and are available in several sizes, so they can be easily customized to meet your needs.
