Frequently Asked Questions
Are kraft boxes biodegradable?
Yes, most kraft boxes are biodegradable. Made from natural paper fibres, kraft packaging is designed to break down over time in the right conditions, making it an eco-friendly alternative to plastic. Many of our kraft takeaway boxes are also compostable and recyclable, depending on the lining used. Always check the product details for specific sustainability credentials, and dispose of them responsibly to maximise their environmental benefits.
What are the benefits of bagasse packaging?
Bagasse packaging is an eco-friendly alternative made from the fibrous by-product of sugarcane after juice extraction. It offers several benefits: it's biodegradable, compostable, and made from renewable resources, making it a sustainable choice for food service. Bagasse containers are also microwave and freezer safe, with excellent heat resistance and durability. They’re a great option for both hot and cold foods, combining practicality with environmental responsibility.
Are kraft food boxes microwave safe?
Yes, many kraft food boxes are microwave safe, especially those without a plastic lining. Our kraft takeaway boxes are designed to handle hot foods and can typically be used to reheat meals in the microwave. However, we recommend checking the product specifications for specific guidance, as some linings or coatings may not be suitable for microwave use. Always reheat food in short intervals and avoid overheating to maintain the integrity of the box.
