Food Packaging: Shop by Food Type
Finding the perfect eco-friendly food container shouldn't be a challenge. Whether you’re serving a piping hot burger, a crisp garden salad, or artisanal gelato, your packaging should be as high-quality as your ingredients. At The Pure Option, we’ve curated our collection by food type to help you find the exact fit for your menu—all while staying 100% plant-based and planet-positive.
Performance-Driven, Plant-Based Materials
We believe in a circular economy, not "dead dinosaurs." Our packaging is crafted from renewable resources that perform under pressure:
-
Sugarcane Bagasse: Naturally grease-resistant and breathable, perfect for hot takeaway meals like fish and chips or burgers.
-
Corn-Based PLA: Crystal-clear and sturdy, our PLA offers a sustainable alternative for cold deli pots, salads, and iced drinks.
-
Certified Paperboard: Sustainably sourced and certified, our cardboard solutions are the gold standard for compostable pizza boxes and sandwich wedges.
The Zero-Waste Solution for Every Menu
| Food Type | Best Packaging Solution | Key Material |
| Hot Takeaway | Hinged Clamshells & Meal Trays | Sugarcane Bagasse |
| Chilled Deli | Clear Salad Bowls & Deli Pots | Plant-Based PLA |
| Street Food | Food Boxes & Trays | Kraft Paper / Cardboard & Sugarcane Bagasse |
| Bakery & Cakes | Greaseproof Boxes | Compostable Paperboard |
Why Choose The Pure Option?
Traditional petroleum-based plastics are an "un-natural" solution to a modern problem. Our products are certified compostable and biodegradable, designed to break down into nutrient-rich soil rather than lingering in landfills for centuries. Many of our items are also designed for easy recycling, giving you and your customers total peace of mind.
From wholesale catering supplies to small-batch bakery needs, shop our range today and make a measurable difference with every order.
Looking for Vegan
All of our own branded range, whether it's our premium Auware range or our basics Made from Plants range are made using no animal byproducts.
