25 Examples of Sustainable Food Packaging

From Hybrid Meal Deliveries to Food Waste Pasta Boxes

— February 15, 2017 — Eco
These examples of sustainable food packaging range from hybrid meal delivery boxes to pasta containers that are made with food waste that is transformed into a paper-like substance. Other notables range from biodegradable takeout containers to edible plastic bags that aim to reverse the harsh environmental effects of the widely used material.

In addition to a slew of packaging examples that are crafted using recycled materials, other standouts include washable fruit cups and glass confection jars that promote reusable and multi-functional features.

Rounding off this list are dehydrated spaghetti dinners -- ideal for on-the-go enhoyment and packaged inside recyclable paper packaging -- along with eco-friendly menu items like a tortilla dish that is served inside of a completely edible bowl.
