How to make your fish shop greener
Eco-friendly packaging!

A fish shop needs a lot of packaging. How can you reduce the environmental impact of this packaging? Opt for eco-friendly packaging!
In this blog, we will help you replace your packaging with suitable and eco-friendly alternatives.

Compostable seafood dishes

These revolutionary sugarcane seafood trays are strong, robust, very user-friendly and environmentally friendly!

Our sugarcane dishes are made from a waste stream from sugarcane production. The extraction of sugar from sugarcane produces large quantities of residual fibres, called sugarcane bagasse. People used to burn bagasse on land. Nowadays, we turn it into plates, bowls and platters!

You can compost sugarcane packaging in your own garden. Sugarcane bagasse biodegrades on a compost heap within 90 days.

Compostable film

Fish packaging is often made of plastic film, which is not very environmentally friendly. Fortunately, there is a simple way to reduce the use of plastic: use paper with a Materbi coating.

Materbi is a biodegradable plastic made from starch and vegetable oils. It can be used as a coating on paper, making it a sustainable alternative to plastic film. Materbi coating can also be combined with other biodegradable materials, such as cellulose, to create fully compostable packaging. By using paper with Materbi Coating as packaging material for fish, we can reduce plastic waste and protect the environment. Paper is just as functional as plastic, but without the negative effects on the environment.

Ecological menu trays

Menu trays are often made of plastic or aluminium, but fortunately there are more eco-friendly options. Our menu containers made of sugarcane are an alternative. Sugar cane is a fast-growing crop that can be quickly replaced after harvest, making it a renewable resource. Using sugarcane as a raw material for menu containers is therefore a more sustainable choice than plastic or aluminium. Another advantage of sugar cane is that it is highly resistant to heat and cold. This means that you can safely use menu containers made of sugar cane in the oven, microwave and freezer. This makes them just as convenient as plastic or aluminium, but with a much smaller carbon footprint.

Sugarcane menu containers are not only more eco-friendly, but also stylish and modern. They have a natural look and add a touch of elegance to food presentation. If you have a fish shop and want to be more sustainable, consider switching to sugarcane menu trays. It's a small change that can make a big difference to the environment and the well-being of our planet. In short, they are sustainable, versatile and give a beautiful look to food presentation. Try them and make a difference to our planet!

Featured for you

To boost your green image, you have to not only say it but also do it! It is important that your brand is consistent and that you do not pretend to be greener than you are. Acting environmentally conscious has many benefits.

Bowls in rPET

rPET stands for recycled polyethylene terephthalate, meaning the material is made from recycled plastic. This makes it a sustainable alternative to traditional plastic trays.

There are several advantages to using rPET trays. First, it reduces the amount of waste that ends up in landfills because it is made from recycled materials. This contributes to a cleaner and healthier environment. In addition, using rPET creates less CO2 emissions than using new plastic because less energy is needed to produce the recycled material. Another advantage of rPET containers is that they are just as functional as traditional plastic containers. They are leak-proof and durable, making them suitable for packaging food and other products. Moreover, rPET containers are recyclable, meaning they can be reprocessed into new products after use.

Did you know that you can print round rPET jars with your logo with us for a professional look and sustainable packaging?
