Practical Sustainable Solutions in Takeout Food Packaging

ADDING VALUE TO TAKEOUT DINING

The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic shuttered restaurants all across the U.S. forcing many restaurants to close or restrict their seating capacity. In order to survive, many food establishments were using food delivery and takeout service as viable alternatives and this has lead to an explosion of disposable food and beverage containers.

The Environmental Fallout

Fearing infection, many folks, especially those greatest at risk, still prefer take-out service over in-service dining. Consequently consumers and restaurants have become more dependent than ever on single-use plastic bags, takeout food containers and eating utensils and it is causing an excessive waste problem.

Single-use polyethylene (plastic) and polystyrene (the material used to make Styrofoam™) are experiencing a renewed demand due to the pandemic. The surge in single-use plastic is a major blow to the fight against plastic pollution, which is projected to increase by 40% in the next decade, according to a report from the World Wildlife Fund.

It may be some time before many people feel comfortable dining in restaurants again and experts expect takeout and delivery to continue to be in high demand. That’s why compostable food packaging is more important than ever. Food establishments are using the pandemic to strengthening thier brand and are converting to eco safe compostable food packaging.

Foodies Are Conscious of Food Packaging

Surveys show many consumers feel good buying products created in an environmentally-friendly way. For some, this feeling overrides negative concerns brought on by paying higher costs. Now is the perfect time to convert your takeout food packaging to ASTM D6400 certified compostable  supplies! People can feel confident supporting their local restaurants and know they aren’t adding to the growing plastic waste problem that includes micro-plastic.
