Common Questions & Answers
Q: Is the packaging suitable for hot sandwiches?
A: No. It is designed for ambient or chilled products only. Direct heat can compromise the structural integrity and transparency of the PLA window.
Q: Can the entire pack be recycled?
A: The kraft paperboard is widely recyclable. The PLA window is compostable but not recyclable; however, some facilities can separate components. Local guidelines should be consulted.
Q: Does the packaging contain plastic?
A: It does not contain conventional plastic. The clear window is made from PLA, a compostable bioplastic derived from plants (corn starch or sugarcane).
