Nitrile gloves are known for their cleanliness and are considered one of the best types of disposable gloves, but are they suitable for food preparation? Absolutely!

If you want to ensure safety when handling food, check out our collection of food-grade high-quality black nitrile gloves.

More sustainable options for conventional plastic items are readily available. Brisbane Cup Supplies distribute certified compostable, and carbon-neutral alternatives made from sustainably sourced and rapidly renewable materials like sugarcane, FSC certified wood or bioplastic materials made from plants.

Now we want our packaging to be on point and it need not be an expensive exercise.  If you can limit your packaging choices to 3 or 4 different items, which is achievable if your menu is not crazy long, it can save on costs as well as space, and your staff will be more familiar with assembly if any is required, making your takeaway menu as streamlined as your dine in.
I have compiled a short list of popular winter food items and the best packaging to serve them in, hopefully it will come in handy when your take away orders spike as the mercury drops.

Sugarcane fibre, or to those in the know, bagasse, is the material left over once sugarcane stalks are crushed to extract their juice part of the process of creating sugar.

As a by-product, bagasse is proving to be just as useful, if not more useful, than sugar itself. Sure, sugar makes your chocolate taste delicious, but sugarcane fibre is helping to save the planet!

For every tonne of sugarcane crushed to create sugar, three tonnes of bagasse is produced. That's three times the amount of product which can be used in so many interesting and eco-friendly ways.

The easiest way to announce Spring is by adding a bit more colour into your food. Fruit is the easiest, and healthiest, way to do this. Oranges both brighten up an otherwise bland looking dish, and add a dash of citrus that both excites and cleanses taste buds.

Saying 'no' to plastic food containers isn't easy, especially if you're running a food service business and need disposable packaging. The good news is, Brisbane Cup Supplies great range of  takeaway containers are recyclable and commercially compostable, offering an environmentally friendly alternative for food service businesses who need disposable packaging, and want to do their bit for the planet.

Remember, if you do good, you'll feel good. We can all make small changes to the planet that collectively will have a big impact.  Climate change and greenhouse gases are two of the most spoken about environmental issues facing the planet in 2018. With animal agriculture responsible for 18 per cent of greenhouse gas emission, more than the combined exhaust from all transportation on earth, it is certainly a no-brainer to go vegan for many planet-advocates. And with animal agriculture emissions projected to increase to 80 per cent of all emissions there's a sustained effort to reduce the amount of animal agriculture needed to feed the planet.

 

Brisbane Cup Supplies range of window lunch boxes are perfect for colourful, nourishing salads, and the sushi trays are the freshest and most environmentally friendly way to eat the Japanese delicacy on the go.

Customers are more switched on to the plight of Eco-friendly packaging than ever before, they now know that plastic does the planet no favours, and want their food to stay healthy and nutritious from the kitchen to their mouth.

What they may not be aware of though, is the impact plastic takeaway containers have on food and drinks. Nasty micro plastics leech into the food, undoing all the good stuff that has been  done to ensure your food is as healthy as possible.
