The demand for eco-friendly packaging has increased dramatically as businesses are becoming more and more aware of the impact they have on the environment.
At Paper Boss, we recognize the need to meet the demand and believe that making a difference where we can is what will set us apart from other suppliers of workplace consumables.
Therefore, we have included biodegradable packaging for food and other takeaways in our extensive catalogue of workplace consumables.
Eco Friendly Packaging Cape Town
The food and coffee takeaway industries in South Africa are enormous and contribute a significant percentage of single use plastic packaging which finds its way into our landfills.
There is a big difference between single use consumables and other workplace consumables which are used for weeks, months, and sometimes years at a time. Single use packaging is one of our biggest environmental enemies and finding a way to eradicate these items should be a priority for any business.
In an effort to support environmentally conscious businesses, we have added a list of eco friendly packaging to our catalogue which includes:
- Biodegradable compartment cup holders
- Biodegradable coffee cups
- CPLA coffee cup lids
- Recyclable takeaway cups
- Biodegradable takeaway cups
- Compostable takeaway cups
- Cornstarch cutlery
- Teaspoons
- Tablespoons
- Knives
- Forks
- Kraft bags in various sizes
- Pizza boxes
- Compostable straws
- Wooden stirring sticks
What is the Difference Between Recyclable, Compostable, and Biodegradable?
Recyclable
The process of recycling involves converting waste into another reusable material. However, it does not mean that recycling one material leads to a new supply of the same material – an expensive process. Rather, recycled products are used to create an entirely different product. Furthermore, it’s important to note that not all plastic materials are recyclable.
Compostable
All compostable material is biodegradable, but not all biodegradable material is compostable. Compostable materials break down and form humus, which is a nutrient-rich, water-retaining soil which can be used as compost in vegetable crops and other plants.
Biodegradable
Biodegradable material can be decomposed by bacteria and other micro-organisms. In the correct environment, biodegradable material will break down and return to nature leaving little to no waste behind.
