Specifications
Materials
PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate)
- PET clamshells are transparent, lightweight, and durable. Their excellent moisture barrier properties and clarity allow consumers to see the contents easily.
- Food-safe and approved by regulatory agencies worldwide, including the FDA in the United States, EFSA in Europe, and Health Canada.
- PET can be recycled. Our clamshell food containers are marked with a recycling symbol.
PP (Polypropylene)
- PP is a versatile material with strength, flexibility, and resistance to heat and chemicals.
-
Polypropylene is approved for food contact applications and is considered safe for storing food.
-
Some of our PP clamshells are microwave and freezer-safe due to their heat resistance and durability.
Sugarcane
- Sugarcane (or bagasse) is a fibrous byproduct. It’s a natural and renewable material, ideal for food packaging.
- Bagasse is generally considered safe for food contact because it’s derived from plants and undergoes minimal processing. Our sugarcane-made clamshells are compostable and biodegradable.
- A sustainable alternative to traditional plastics. Minimizes your business’s environmental impact.
