As society has adapted to prevent the spread of COVID-19, the role of single-use plastics in the food industry has shifted from something that was starting to be phased out to being a more hygienic option for serving food. Many hospitality businesses have opted for disposable food containers and cups during and post-lockdown, not only because many have boosted their takeaway offerings, but also to reduce the risk of spreading coronavirus. However, the increase in disposables doesn’t necessarily mean environmental values are out the window.
The Katermaster range of plastic PET food containers is made from the polymer resin known as polyethylene terephthalate (PET). PET is one of the most commonly recycled plastics. It can be easily disposed of through household and community kerbside waste collection, then recycled to create new food packaging.
Not only is Katermaster’s PET packaging a more sustainable single-use plastic option, it is durable, too. PET, with its semi-rigid structure, is impact resistant, lightweight and resistant to fats and oils. It also has excellent clarity, making it the perfect choice to showcase your food.
