PLA Food Containers & Lids
Brisbane Cup Supplies is committed to providing sustainable takeaway packaging solutions, including PLA food containers and lids that are the perfect eco-friendly choice for businesses looking to reduce their environmental impact. Our biodegradable deli containers look and perform like traditional plastic bowls but are made from Ingeo, a plant-based bioplastic. These bowls are ideal for serving cold meals such as salads, fruits and desserts.
The Benefits of PLA Containers
Key benefits and features of our deli serving bowls include:
- Made from renewable plant-based materials
- 75% lower greenhouse gas emissions than traditional plastic
- Certified commercially compostable
- Clear, sturdy design for superior presentation
Other Product Details
Our deli salad bowls have a shelf life of six months from purchase and must be kept out of direct sunlight and below 35°C. In addition, PLA does not have suitable oxygen barrier properties to store food for extended periods, making these bowls ideal for short-term food storage and immediate consumption.
