World Centric recently expanded its NoTree range of 100% tree-free, bio-based and compostable packaging with 17 new products, all of which are compostable in commercial composting facilities. These sustainable packaging solutions help to provide alternatives to traditional disposable foodservice ware for operators and they make the most of materials like bamboo and sugarcane with bio-based moisture barrier linings.
In addition to being sustainably designed, the packaging solutions are heat lamp tolerant, warming oven-friendly and are they may be used for holding hot or cold foods.
Notably, the NoTree Takeout Boxes have a PLA-based, compostable window as an alternative to traditional petroleum plastic windows, and these products are said to be "sustainable alternatives that perform as well as, or even better than, the products they are replacing."
