Choose the Right Material for Your Packaging
The choice of packaging and how it is used has a significant impact on you as a customer, as well as on end consumers and our society. Therefore, it is wise to take a few minutes to consider which material you should choose and how this choice affects you. Ask yourself three questions:
- Is the product intended for food use?
- Are there alternatives that are better for the environment?
- How should the waste be managed?
Our business idea is to offer a wide range of affordable, high-quality products and solutions that simplify the workday for everyone running a business, and we aim to do this with commitment, customer focus, and honesty.
For us, responsible consumption means taking responsibility for the products we sell. We assess our products from a lifecycle perspective and strive to provide our customers with the best options. We advocate for products made from renewable raw materials and recycled materials and continuously work to expand and improve our range. It is important for us to help our customers make informed decisions, and we constantly work to increase information for the customer. This material guide is a step in this effort.

Renewable Materials.
Renewable materials such as bagasse, bamboo, and PLA come from plants instead of oil. Here you’ll learn the differences between the materials and which ones are best suited for your food and drinks.

Aluminum & Other Materials.
Looking for trays that can withstand oven heat or stylish solutions for take-away? Materials like aluminum have unique temperature properties. Here we go through other materials, paper, and glass.
