Ecofriendly Lunch Box and Biodegradable Containers
Recycled, recyclable or biodegradable packaging
Avec
Plaisirs now offers a business lunch tray made with 100% compostable
content and a recyclable lunch box made with 100% recycled cardboard and
vegetable dyes. What’s more, the components are 100% compostable, since
our new containers are made from corn starch, which takes from 4 to 8
weeks to biodegrade, in compliance with OK Compost and BPI international
