Part of our sustainable packaging range, our biodegradable food packaging products are the perfect solution for eco-conscious cafés, takeaways, caterers, and food delivery services. At GM Packaging, we supply fully biodegradable packaging made from natural, renewable materials like bagasse, kraft paper, and birchwood.
From compostable food containers and biodegradable cutlery to eco-friendly trays and lids, every item is designed to break down naturally after use, helping you reduce waste and minimise your environmental footprint.
With sustainable options that are strong, grease-resistant and suitable for hot or cold food, our biodegradable packaging combines function, style and eco responsibility in one.
Biodegradable packaging is made from plant-based materials like sugarcane (bagasse), birchwood, and unbleached kraft paper. These materials naturally break down over time without harming the environment.
Is biodegradable food packaging suitable for hot food?
Yes, many of our biodegradable containers and trays are heat-resistant and suitable for hot food, making them ideal for takeaways, street food, and event catering.
How long does it take biodegradable packaging to break down?
Depending on the material and disposal conditions, biodegradable packaging can decompose within a few weeks to a few months, especially in commercial composting environments.
