FAQs

What material are these takeaway boxes made from?

They are made from 100% natural sugarcane bagasse, a byproduct of sugarcane processing.

Are these boxes safe for microwaving?

These boxes are not recommended for microwave use. While they are suitable for hot food, microwaving may affect their structural integrity.

What does TUV Home Compostable certified mean?

It means the boxes are certified to break down in a home composting environment under normal conditions, returning to nature without harmful residues.

Can I use these for cold foods like salads?

Yes, they are perfectly suitable for cold foods, including salads with dressings, as they are designed to be leak-resistant.

How much food can each box hold?

Each box measures 7x5 inches when closed and offers generous space for main dishes, sides, or multi-item meals.

Are these boxes bleached or treated with chemicals?

No, they are natural, un-bleached, and PFAS-free, making them a safe choice for food packaging.

What is the shelf life of these boxes before use?

When stored in a cool, dry place, the boxes maintain their integrity for an extended period. However, for optimal performance, it's best to use them within a reasonable timeframe after purchase.

Troubleshooting

Box feels slightly soft after holding very hot, saucy food for a long time

While designed for hot and saucy foods, prolonged exposure under extreme conditions might slightly soften the material. For maximum integrity, use for typical meal durations or consider slightly thicker alternatives for exceptionally long transit or very intense heat/sauce combinations.

Contents appear to be leaking

Ensure the clamshell lid is fully and securely closed. Check that the food does not exceed the fill line, which could stress the container's seal. The material is designed to prevent leaks under normal use.

Boxes are difficult to compost

Composting success depends on local conditions. Ensure the boxes are placed in a suitable composting environment (home or industrial) with adequate moisture and aeration. Remove any non-compostable food residue before composting.
