Clamshell Containers FAQs
What materials are used in Compostable Clamshell Containers?
Our clamshell containers are made from either compostable fiber, ideal for hot foods, or clear PLA bioplastic, best suited for cold items like salads and baked goods. The fiber is derived from renewable plant fibers like sugarcane, while the PLA is a plant-based bioplastic. Both materials are eco-friendly food packaging options.
What makes compostable clamshells better for the environment than traditional plastic?
Compostable clamshells, made from materials like sugarcane bagasse, PLA, or wheat straw fiber, break down within 90–180 days in commercial composting facilities and leave no microplastic residue, meeting standards such as ASTM D6400 or EN 13432. In contrast, conventional plastic clamshells can persist for 400+ years and are made of chemical-based plastics.
Are compostable clamshells safe for hot, oily, or acidic foods?
Yes! Fiber clamshells are sturdy, heat-resistant, and ideal for hot, greasy, or acidic foods. PLA-Lined fiber clamshells are specifically engineered for greasier foods. Conversely, clear PLA clamshells are best for cold items and aren't suited for hot applications.
What are the key benefits of using clamshell packaging for fresh foods?
Clamshell containers are clear, durable, resealable, and ideal for freshness-intensive products like microgreens, deli items, salads, and baked goods. They enhance product visibility, offer tamper-evident protection, and are stackable, improving retail display and supply-chain efficiency.
Can compostable clamshell containers help businesses comply with plastic bans?
Absolutely. Many regions are banning polystyrene and traditional plastic containers. Compostable alternatives certified to BPI, TUV, ASTM D6400, or EN 13432 help businesses stay compliant with evolving single-use plastic regulations.
