Takeaway Food Containers

Takeaway food containers are often overlooked, as our primary focus is drawn to what’s inside. Picture this: you’ve woken up late, you’ve left your lunch in the fridge at home, you’re starving and still have so much work left to do. You grab a meal deal from the nearest supermarket as a quick and easy fix. Perfect, but where does the packaging end up?

Millions of takeaway food containers are used daily worldwide and these often end up in landfill, without even a second thought. At Purple Planet Packaging, we recognise the importance of supplying eco-friendly takeaway food containers, meaning you and your customers can enjoy a guilt free bite to eat, time and time again.

Hot Takeaway Food Containers

Takeaway food containers for hot food are more complex than other food containers. They must be able to withstand the high temperatures without scalding the customers, as well as ensuring the contents are fully secure with no chance of leakage.

At Purple Planet Packaging, we stock a range of heat-retaining containers, which are perfect for all kinds of situations, whether you’re delivering food or on the move.

These boxes are lightweight yet sturdy, making them suitable for use in hot cabinets. They’re crafted from microflute corrugated board with a compostable inner coating. The hinged lid is perforated, allowing your customers to remove it effortlessly and preserve the quality of their food. This design makes these food containers incredibly practical and versatile for various culinary delights.

We offer two types of burger box food containers, of varying sizes as well as two different types of microflute hot takeaway food containers, perfect for meals of all types and sizes, whether it’s leftovers from the night before or the dinnertime delivery you’ve been daydreaming about all day.

FAQs

What does it mean if something is recyclable?

In order to conserve resources and limit the amount of waste being sent to landfill, recycling is intended to re-use materials by converting waste into new objects and resources.

What does it mean if something is biodegradable?

If something will break down into smaller pieces once it has been disposed, this means it is biodegradable.

What does it mean if something is compostable?

Items that are made up of plants or organic elements that can, in a particular environment, break down into natural elements, are considered compostable. This process does not harm the environment.

Why are eco-friendly takeaway food containers important?

Takeaway sandwiches and wraps are undeniably the most consumed food item globally, which unfortunately results in a significant number of plastic sandwich containers being discarded daily. Other takeaway food containers massively contribute to this waste, and this accumulation of plastic has a detrimental impact on the environment.
