Frequently Asked Questions

The most eco-friendly packaging for food is made from biodegradable or compostable materials, such as plant-based plastics, paper, or cardboard. These materials are derived from renewable resources and can break down naturally without causing harm to the environment.

Restaurants can become more eco-friendly by investing in compostable materials where previously they used disposable materials. This can include eco-friendly containers such as to-go cups, takeout containers, catering supplies, and straws.

No, eco-friendly food packaging is not necessarily more expensive than other disposable food packaging. To compare costs, you can use Eco-pliant’s purchasing program estimator to find how your company can invest in eco-friendly containers at an affordable price.

Eco-friendly containers that are environmentally friendly include materials that are either compostable or recyclable. Some of these materials include fiber/sugarcane, PLA bioplastic, Kraft paper, plant starch, PHA Biopolymer, and PET plastic, to name a few. The key is to find either compostable materials or highly recyclable and reusable materials.

To get the best price on eco-friendly food packaging, you can work directly with a sustainable packaging company like Eco-Pliant to order in bulk and customize your order to get the exact materials and items you need at the budget that works for you. Our custom packages can be created in moments, contact us today.
