Compared to traditional plastics, biodegradable ones are less harmful to the environment. This is because the manufacturing of them does not involve the use of fossil fuels and energy.

Also, biodegradable products decompose in the soil rather than in landfills. This helps in reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Recyclable
Eco-friendly Biodegradable Plastic Fresh Food Trays are designed to be recyclable. They can be placed in your regular recycling bin along with your other recyclable products such as paper and metal.

Alternatively, you can also compost these trays into a commercial or home composting facility. This will break them down quickly, resulting in compost that is a natural fertilizer for plants and soil.

In addition to being biodegradable, these trays are made from a plant-based material and are produced using renewable resources, meaning they do not have the same negative impact on the environment as pulp or conventional plastics.

They are also more akin to traditional plastic in that they don’t absorb moisture like pulp, which can slow down the spoilage of food and decreases the risk of food contamination by bacteria or other microorganisms. They are strong, durable and reusable, making them a better choice for restaurants and other food establishments who use disposable containers.

Biodegradable
Biodegradable plastic products are a good choice for the environment as they do not release harmful chemicals like Bisphenol A that are associated with endocrine disruption and cancer. These plastics are also a little closer to nature than traditional plastics as they can decompose in the ground without much effort.

Besides being eco-friendly, these trays are cost-effective and can be reused multiple times. They can be used as food containers in restaurants and cafes to serve fresh foods.

These trays are made of biodegradable materials and are compostable in commercial composting facilities. They break down to water, CO2 and humus and are safe for use in microwaves, conventional ovens and convection ovens.

There are several types of biodegradable plastics available in the market. Some are cellulose, while others are seaweed-based.

Modified Atmosphere
Modified atmosphere is a technology that extends the shelf life of food by controlling environmental gases inside the package. The combination of a specific mix of gases, barrier materials and techniques for packaging are the keys to the success of this technology.

This technique can be used to pack any type of food - from fruits and vegetables to meat, fish, dairy products and ready meals. It has several advantages over traditional packaging, extending shelf life and reducing food waste by maximizing product availability.

A key benefit is that MAP has been shown to reduce the growth of pathogens on fresh-cut fruit and vegetables. However, it is important to understand the effect of gas atmospheres on different microbial species and strains.

For this reason, more research is needed to investigate the microbial safety of MAP-packaged produce over a range of MAP and storage conditions. This information may play an integral role in assuring product safety and preventing the growth of potential foodborne pathogens on MA-packaged produce.

Airtight
Eco-friendly Biodegradable Plastic Fresh Food Trays are a great alternative to traditional Styrofoam and plastic containers. They are airtight and are safe for both freezing and heating.

These trays are made of sugarcane bagasse and other plant fibers. These materials are becoming increasingly popular as feasible alternatives to plastic.

They are also recyclable, biodegradable and compostable. They are designed to hold a variety of items including ready meals, meats, fish and seafood as well as fresh fruit and vegetables.
