What is Fair Trade

Fair Trade Pricing

These compostable food containers are made from NatureWorks polylactic acid (PLA), which is derived from corn grown in the USA.   These PLA containers are fully biodegradable and compostable and meet the most stringent scientific requirements for biodegradability and compostability, and are ASTM D6400-99 certified for "compostable plastics".  Though, they are indistinguishable from normal plastic and as light and strong, they fully degrade into water, carbon dioxide and organic material when composted.  There is no reason not to use these food containers  made from readily renewable resources as compared to the petroleum based plastic containers, which create toxicity and environmental pollution.   

 

Please note, composting is required for biodegradation and these compostable food containers will  biodegrade within 180 days in a commercial composting facility, and can take up to a year or more to biodegrade in a home composting system.  These compostable containers are only meant to be used for food at temperatures less than 110 degrees F.

Compostable Containers  for food  below 110F

Please store below 110F away from heat, hot surfaces and direct sunlight.  

These are Round deli containers

These biodegradable deli containers  have our "Bicompostable logo" and  "This container is made from corn and is 100%  compostable" printed on them in green color on one side of the container.  Some of the older stock has both sides printed without the logo.  We do this to distinguish them from regular plastic containers and as well as to facilitate sorting them in municipal recycling/composting facilities for composting. 

Please see our wholesale page for volume, school & non-profit discounts.
