There have been many extreme changes to the way takeaway businesses and food services operate over the last few months.  Many had to close their doors, whilst others had to come up with a new plan in order to keep their business afloat.  This involved providing a takeaway service which is something that a lot of restaurants and pubs may not have even considered before.

Complying with government guidance and regulations, many businesses within the takeaway sector were able to quickly reopen and provide the services that their customers very much craved. Now that pubs and restaurants are able to reopen and provide seated meals once again, they may be considering continuing to provide takeaways as a sideline.  If this is something you are considering for your business or simply want to become more environmentally friendly, then now is the time to ditch the plastics and choose takeaway packaging that is more sustainable and have a less negative impact on the environment.

Here at Advanced Disposables we are passionate about the environment and the impact we as people can have and hope to share our knowledge, experience and our sustainable, compostable and biodegradable takeaway packaging products with you. 

Schools & Canteens

With many school children only being able to eat in their bubbles, in their own classrooms, school kitchens may have to rethink how they serve their school lunches.  Office canteens may have to consider offering more takeaway options so that people can continue with social distancing.  We have a great choice of eco-friendly takeaway food containers that would suit a wide range of different hot and cold foods.

Kraft Meal Box - Perfect for school provided packed lunches or even hot children’s takeaway meals, these strong paperboard boxes are recyclable, compostable (EN13432) and biodegradable.
