Paper Trays Can Be Environmentally Friendly

- Biodegradable paper food trays are those that can be broken down by biological organisms without causing harm to the environment, and
- Compostable paper food trays will organically degrade into nutrient-rich, organic matter in the right environment. Compostable paper trays are engineered to leave no toxic residue or visible signs of its existence.
Bagasse Sugarcane Trays
When it comes to sustainable, environmentally friendly trays for foods, our bagasse trays are near the top of the list. Bagasse is the waste that remains after a manufacturer turns sugar cane into sugar.
Because it’s traditionally considered a waste product by manufacturers, bagasse requires no extra resources to produce it. This makes bagasse trays and food packaging products among the most environmental solutions on the planet.
At the same time, sugar cane bagasse is available in abundance and is considered to be a rapidly renewable resource. Sugarcane can actually completely regrow in as little as 10 months, which makes bagasse a greener alternative to wood and paper.

Currently, there are a growing number of food packaging applications being developed. But some of the most common bagasse food packaging products include:
- Bagasse meat trays
- Bagasse produce trays
- Bagasse raw meat trays

- Bagasse multi-use takeout chicken box
- And more
Cornstarch Trays
Another emerging, eco-friendly food packaging solution is cornstarch packaging. These products are made when a manufacturer uses the polylactic acid (PLA) found in cornstarch. The manufacturer utilizes cornstarch PLA because this material performs similarly to other popular plastics:
- Polyethylene is a key building block in bottles, plastic films, and more.
- Polypropylene is used in textiles, auto parts, and packaging
- Polystyrene is used in plastic cutlery and Styrofoam.
