Opt for sturdy paper bag... 2. Use versatile food packaging that can be used to serve multiple menu items 3. Make use of sugarcane compartment trays to separate different food items for a single meal 4. Make sure your takeaway packaging tightly fits in a meal delivery bag 5. Go for #compostable food packaging where customers can sustainably dispose waste in their own homes. These simple steps can make a major difference to building your takeaway avenue to continue your offerings to customers in isolation.

18.01.2022 Why waste when you can #recover? Derived from plants, compostable food packaging can be sustainably disposed back into organic matter, creating nutrient-rich soil to grow more plants and continue the compost #cycle. Rather than sending food waste and plastic packaging into landfill, compostable packaging can be disposed together with scraps, diverting waste from landfill and minimising the impact on the environment. ... From backyard home composts, worm farms to industrial composting facilities there are endless ways that you can compost to suit your own needs.

17.01.2022 The Queensland Parliament has introduced legislation to ban single-use plastics commencing as early as July 2021. With a full year to prepare, make the switch to #compostable alternatives now for a hassle-free transition into your sustainable journey. Here are some tips to avoid #greenwashing and to reduce waste when looking for #plasticfree food packaging.... 1. Fibourous touch Feel for a rough fibourous material without a shiny lining. Packaging made from sugarcane bagasse are completely natural and are home compostable. 2. Complete set It's no good using a compostable bowl when the matching lid is plastic! Look for options where both the bowl and lid is fully compostable which can be sustainably disposed together. 3. Clamshells With a lid attached to the base, clamshells minimise the amount of packaging needed, and also great for takeaway. 4. Compartments Take advantage of compartment trays to separate multiple meal items, yet packaged in the single box! It only takes a few small changes to make a massive #difference for our planet.

15.01.2022 Small changes can make a massive difference for the environment. Unlike the bread bag which can be recycled via the soft plastics REDcycle system, we often forget about the bread tag that is used to secure it. Bread tags are a very difficult piece of plastic to #recycle. Owing to their small size, they cannot be properly recycled via kerbside recycling streams and will end up polluting the natural environment and harming wildlife.... Tip Top's cardboard alternative is not only are made from sustainable recycled materials but also eliminates the use of fossil fuels and plastic pollution.

Provide individually pre-packed cutlery sets with takeaway meals 3. Limit the amount of people in your store at one time 4. Set up online order and payments to reduce time spent with customers in store 5. Do not accept reusable containers and cups as they pose a risk to contamination - instead, switch to compostable food packaging Together, let's #stopthespread and keep our community healthy and safe! . . . . #foodsafety #stopthespread #gloves #safetystandards #haccp #covid19 #supportlocal #safetytips #foodhandling

13.01.2022 Home vs Industrial: What's the difference? There are so many ways to compost your food packaging these days where it can get quite tricky knowing which goes into what. Let's break it down into 2 main types of composting: #home and #industrial composting. The composting method you use will determine the type of materials accepted in the compost.... Home composting: Home composting handles small amounts of organic and plant based materials, monitored in a home/backyard setting. Common methods include compost bin/piles, green cones and worm farms. Only organic food waste and fibre-based packaging are able to break down in home compost conditions. Industrial composting: Industrial composting takes place in facilities that are set up to handle large amounts of organic waste. Since temperatures reach much higher in industrial facilities, this opens up the door to even more materials accepted including PLA-based packaging as well as cooked food, meats, diary and seafood. Whichever method you choose, both options can sustainably dispose your compostable food packaging and return it back into soil. . . . . #industrialcompostable #homecompostable #composting #compostable #compostablepackaging #organic #organicsrecycling #sustainablepackaging #compostablefoodpackaging #sustainablefoodpackaging #sustainable

13.01.2022 Say hello to our: #compostable materials. Sugarcane: Recycled waste material after sugarcane juice is extracted from the stalks. Rapidly renewable material and consumes less energy to manufacture compared to wood. Bamboo: One of the fastest growing grasses in the world, bamboo requires no irrigation and rarely needs replanting after harvested.... Wood: Natural resource sustainably sourced from forests (and FSC certified). Versatile, trendy and a classic eco-friendly material. Areca Palm: Naturally fallen leaves which are collected and heat pressed into tableware. Reclaimed agricultural waste as they are typically disposed by incineration. PLA: Polylactic Acid (PLA) is a biodegradable plastic derived from renewable starch resources such as corn, sugarcane and cassava. What do they all have in common? They're all plant-based, made from sustainably sourced renewable materials and best of all, are home and/or industrially compostable.

12.01.2022 Time sure flies by... It's already been one year since we took part in the Healthy Kids Association's Healthy Kids Expo!

Event visitors had the chance to discover and trial healthy meal and snack options for kids as well as gaining tips on #sustainability.... Most of the alternatives can be easily replicated and adopted within offices or restaurants for a sustainable improvement. Here are some of our favourite tips: Create a veggie garden project to grow produce for cafes and restaurants onsite. Organise a compost bin to divert food scraps from landfill. Opt for compostable food packaging when organising parties or events that require disposables. Encourage the use of reusable drink bottles by supplying filtered drinking water. Got any other tips?

10.01.2022 The plastic waste issue can't only be solved by the clean up alone, but also involves tackling the root of the problem single-use plastic usage. By putting a tick on plastic and the supposed 'benefits' of recycling, this allows major companies to continue using plastics in the guise of sustainability and therefore #greenwashing. The rate of plastic recycling is very low, and even when recycled properly, it can only be recycled a few times until its quality deems it for l...andfill (or more realistically, the natural environment). When reusables can't be an option, compostable packaging is the solution to ensuring that products are made from renewable resources and will return back to the Earth as nutrient-rich soil. Unlike recycling where food waste contaminates the recycle, #compostable packaging can be sustainably disposed with food scraps into organic matter. What are your thoughts on single-use plastic?

01.01.2022 You probably have heard of one or two plastic pollution statistics floating around the web, but understanding the depth of the issue and how to combat it, is the next step to #awareness. Plastic and other non-compostable materials will remain to exist whether they end up in landfill or in the natural environment. Even when broken down, plastics remain as an environmental hazard. Micro-plastics can be consumed by marine life and eventually entering our food chain and consumed... by us. So much that there will be more #plasticwaste than fish in our oceans by 2050. It's time to take action not only by reducing your own individual impact, but also being the voice of change within your community to encourage your local #businesses and governments to join the plastic-free movement. Every small changes counts towards a massive #difference for the planet.
