Boxed Food Cartons

Practical and well designed, these food cartons are the perfect environmentally friendly container for all takeaway foods. The small version is the perfect size for side dishes such as rice and noodles, small pies or chocolate brownies. The larger Vegware Food Cartons are ideal for pasta, pie, mash and gravy and all sorts of hot treats.

As well as looking great, these boxes are also up to the job. Made from sustainably sourced paper board with a water-based coating, they have leak-proof webbed corners and fold-in flaps to give a secure closure. These boxes won’t leak or seep grease stains. Therefore you’re going to have happy customers.

 

 

The UK government has been proactive in implementing measures to combat waste in the food service industry. The ban on plastic and polystyrene packaging is a prime example of this effort. Polystyrene, commonly used in takeaway containers and packaging, is not biodegradable and poses significant risks to the environment. By outlawing its use, the government aims to encourage businesses to adopt more sustainable alternatives.

Additionally, regulations regarding the segregation of Food and Packaging Waste materials are becoming increasingly stringent. Businesses are now required to separate recyclable materials from general waste, facilitating more effective recycling and reducing the volume of waste sent to landfills. Failure to comply with these regulations can result in hefty fines, underscoring the importance of adherence. This is where our eco-friendly food packaging comes in.
