What is the main concern about plastic containers with lids?

Most people think about the environmental impact of purchasing and using disposable products such as takeaway cups, food storage containers and food boxes. At Catering24 we strive to provide people with the most environmentally friendly catering disposables. A lot of the products we sell are recyclable or compostable. To help our customers and end users, we have created an eco property glossary and have label all of our products with an eco property so that our customers are able to make an informed choice when browsing the website for catering products such as plastic food storage containers. A link to our eco glossary can be found here. The other concern of these storage tubs is that they are not breathable and currently do not contain a breathing hole, but this is a great option for those food storage containers that have a sealing requirement.

Plastic Containers With Lids

These containers are typically used for food storage, packaging takeout or delivery meals, and organising small items.

They are often made from various types of plastic like PET, PP, and HDPE, known for their durability and food safety.

Many plastic containers are designed for multiple uses, but always check the manufacturer's recommendations.

Other takeaway containers come with lids to protect your food en route. Choose between cardboard boxes with built-in lids, plastic tubs with clear lids or foil trays with disposable cardboard lids. These different options work well with different types of food. The plastic tubs are well-suited to Chinese and Indian dishes, while deli dishes can work well in lidded cardboard boxes.
