Product Information
Full details
The Notpla Rectangular Trays are designed for food service professionals and event organizers looking for a high-performance, eco-friendly alternative to plastic-lined takeaway containers. These trays provide exceptional leakproof protection for a variety of hot and cold dishes while remaining 100% home compostable and recyclable. While they offer superior structural integrity compared to standard paper-only containers, users should note that the seaweed-based coating is optimized for standard takeaway service durations rather than long-term food storage.

FAQs
Are these trays plastic-free?
Yes, they use a 100% natural seaweed lining instead of a traditional plastic or PFAS coating.
Can I put these in a microwave?
These trays are designed for food service transport. While the materials are heat-resistant, they are not specifically rated for industrial microwave reheating.
How should I dispose of the trays?
They are home compostable and recyclable. Please check your local council's specific waste disposal guidelines.
What is the size of each tray?
Each tray measures 8 inches by 5 inches, providing a standard surface area for most takeaway meals.
Will the taste of the food be affected by the seaweed coating?
No, the seaweed coating is tasteless and odorless, ensuring that it does not impact the flavor profile of your food.
Troubleshooting
Trays sticking together in storage
Ensure the storage environment is kept dry; excess humidity can cause the natural seaweed coating to become slightly tacky.
Food leakage during transport
Ensure the lid or top closure is properly secured and that the tray is not overfilled beyond its capacity limits.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Notpla trays are shipped nested for efficient space-saving storage in professional kitchens. No assembly is required; simply pull a tray from the stack and fill it with your prepared food items. Because the lining is made from natural materials, it is essential to store these trays in a dry, cool environment away from direct sunlight or extreme humidity to preserve the integrity of the coating. Once used, these containers can be placed in home compost bins, adhering to local municipal guidelines for compostable food service ware.
