Product Information

Full details

This pack of 100 Econx Bagasse 6 Compartment Food Trays is designed for individuals and businesses seeking an eco-friendly, convenient, and sturdy disposable tableware solution for events, food service, or personal use. The key benefit is their biodegradable and compostable nature, offering a sustainable alternative to plastic. A potential caveat is that while rigid, they are disposable and not intended for long-term or heavy-duty reusable applications. These trays feature six compartments to keep foods separate, are made from 100% sugarcane fiber, and are water, oil, and cut-resistant.

FAQs

Are these trays truly compostable?

Yes, they are made from 100% sugarcane fiber and are designed to be biodegradable and compostable in commercial or home composting environments.

Can I reheat food in these trays using a microwave?

Yes, the trays are microwave safe and will not melt or deform when heated under normal microwave conditions.

How many trays come in a pack?

Each pack contains 100 Econx Bagasse 6 Compartment Food Trays.

Are they suitable for very hot liquids?

They are suitable for hot foods, but extremely hot liquids for extended periods might affect the tray's integrity. It is recommended to use them for standard food portions rather than serving only liquid.

Can these be used for non-food items?

Absolutely. They are great for organizing craft supplies like beads, paint, or small hardware items, preventing spills and keeping things tidy.

What is bagasse?

Bagasse is the dry fibrous residue left after crushing sugarcane stalks to extract their juice. It's a sustainable byproduct used to make these eco-friendly trays.

Do they have any plastic coating?

No, these trays are made from natural sugarcane fiber and do not have any plastic coatings, making them fully compostable.

Troubleshooting

Trays feel slightly damp on arrival.

This can occur due to atmospheric humidity. Allow trays to air out in a dry environment for a few hours before use. Ensure they are stored in a dry location.

Food seems to be leaking through the tray.

While oil and water resistant, prolonged exposure to very wet or oily foods, especially at high temperatures, can eventually affect integrity. Ensure food is not excessively liquid and consider using an additional placemat for very heavy or saucy items.

Trays crack or bend when holding heavy food.

Ensure trays are not overloaded. The trays are designed for standard portion sizes. Distribute weight evenly and avoid stacking heavy items precariously.
