The Caneeco 8x8 Biodegradable Takeaway Boxes are designed for businesses and individuals seeking a sustainable and convenient way to serve and store food. Their primary benefit is offering a sturdy, leak-proof, and compostable alternative to traditional plastic or styrofoam containers, reducing environmental impact. A minor consideration is their natural material, which might absorb moisture over extended periods for very wet foods, though they are engineered to resist this. These boxes are ideal for a wide range of food types and are certified for home composting.

No, these biodegradable takeaway boxes are not microwave safe. Please do not use them in a microwave.
These boxes are not designed for long-term freezing. They are best suited for serving and short-term storage of chilled or room temperature foods.
'TUV Home Compostable' certification means the product is designed to break down into natural elements in a home composting environment under normal conditions, without leaving harmful residues.
This product is a 50-pack of Caneeco 8x8 Biodegradable Takeaway Boxes.
While designed to be durable, the natural sugarcane material may absorb grease over extended periods. They are suitable for most fried foods for takeaway but not designed for prolonged grease containment.
No, the boxes are natural and un-bleached, made directly from sugarcane pulp.
The boxes measure 8x8 inches when closed. The open dimensions will be slightly larger, providing ample space for food.
This is normal for natural materials. For extended storage of extremely wet foods, consider using them for shorter periods or alongside an additional layer if needed. Ensure the lid is securely closed to minimize external moisture.
While designed for hot foods, avoid filling the boxes with boiling liquids. Allow very hot food to cool slightly before packaging to prevent excessive warping, although the structural integrity should remain sound.
Composting speed depends on your composting environment (temperature, moisture, aeration). Ensure your compost bin is well-maintained. For faster breakdown, consider breaking the boxes into smaller pieces before adding them to the compost.
These takeaway boxes require no setup. They are ready to use straight from the packaging. They are compatible with a wide range of foods, including hot, cold, dry, and saucy items. To maintain their integrity, avoid prolonged exposure to excessive moisture or direct heat sources outside of their intended food service use. While they can handle hot foods, they are not microwave-safe. For care, it is recommended to store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Once used, the boxes are intended for disposal via composting. For optimal composting, follow guidelines for home or industrial composting facilities. Ensure they are free from significant food residue before composting, though minor residues are generally acceptable for compostable materials.
