It used to be that the only food you would get to eat outside was from the baked potato man in the town centre or your takeaway fish and chips on a Friday night. Both great, traditional options, but not exactly the massive array of choice that we are used to nowadays. The rise in takeaway outlets, street vendors and, particularly at this time of year, food stalls means that we can enjoy all manner of cuisines from across the globe, just by walking down our local high street.
There is one issue with this. Waste. Yes, there is a risk that with so many more people from takeaway outlets that obviously don’t serve food on china plates and then wash them up before the next customer, there will be more waste generated. And that has been the case. But now Greenpak Supplies are here to revolutionise the way you eat al fresco. We provide sustainably sourced food packaging, as well as items that are recyclable, compostable and biodegradable.
Going green doesn’t mean that you limit the types of food you can offer. There are a huge number of different types of environmentally friendly packaging to suit a whole host of different cuisines. Here are some examples.
Waffles
Originating from France or Belgium (depending on who you ask), the humble waffle has become a premium product in recent years. Forget the burnt offerings you might create at home or the frozen potato version you might have eaten as a kid, a true gourmet waffle is a thing of wonder.
Waffle + Co turn up at events around the Cambridge area, bringing their divine smelling, fresh, handcrafted waffle specialities with them. From savoury sensations like chicken and buttermilk to sweet favourites like their tempting pick n mix option, all of their meals come served in a Greenpak Supplies kraft bowl or deli box.
Because this enterprising mobile business made the choice to use our products you can enjoy a warming waffle this winter, safe in the knowledge that you are not adding to landfill and dumping more plastic into the world.
Kebabs
The Cartel has a base in Derby as well as visiting street food events around the country. They sell a mouth watering display of shawarma kebabs and bowls, blending rotisserie meats with the finest recipes from Turkey and the Middle East.
They are also a company that believes in doing things the right way. As they say “The Cartel believes in being different we pride ourselves on being a fair-thinking business that makes considered decisions about how to do business with minimum impact on the environment and wider community.”
This focus on sustainability is what makes them choose to use Greenpak Supplies’ environmentally friendly food packaging so that their customers can enjoy their delicious food knowing they are making the smallest possible impact on the environment.
Whether in kraft bowls or recyclable hot food trays, you could be enjoying a magnificent Lebanese spiced chicken kebab from The Cartel at a festive event near you in the next few days.
Panini
One way to help you heat yourself up in bitter winter evenings as you are browsing around Christmas fairs and markets is to munch on a panini. This great Italian sandwich can contain any number of fillings within a grilled or toasted bread product, such as a ciabatta. The ultimate mooching around food!
We are lucky enough to supply a number of festive food stalls that sell this mighty product, offering sustenance and sustainability to the revellers, shoppers and visitors from all around. Food trays, clamshell trays, hot dog boxes from Greenpak Supplies are all suitable for transporting and devouring paninis from a food stall and all are either recyclable, compostable, biodegradable or all three!
Whatever your food business, wherever the cuisine comes from and whatever form it takes, there is a takeaway packaging choice that will work perfectly for you. All you need to do is browse our extensive range and take your pick of the sustainable options in store. Whilst so many people are ordering your food from stalls around the country, ready to celebrate Christmas in style, you can do your bit for the environment by checking out our green credentials.
