SEAL Packaging has introduced a new home-compostable takeaway food packaging range with Tri-Star Packaging.
Compostabowl is made from bagasse, a natural plant-derived fibre material, which is said to give the product a ‘natural look and feel’.
Certified as 100% home compostable, Compostabowl is suitable for both hot and cold food, including salads, noodles and curries.
The ‘snug-fitting’ lid is described as ensuring ‘maximum presentation’ while providing a flat surface for allergen labelling from Gen-Label in line with Natasha’s Law. The lid is made from 100% recycled PET (rPET) and is recyclable.
Seal Packaging director Kevin Curran explained, “We are very excited by Compostabowl and believe it will transform the marketplace. Compostabowl is the first of many new products to come out of the Seal Packaging stable, with two more planned before the end of the year.”
London-based chain Birley Sandwiches – Sandwich Bar of the Year for five out of seven years, pre-pandemic – was the first client to use the product. MD Paul Salter said, “This new cutting-edge salad container will keep us at the forefront of our industry.”
