The base material is unbleached kraft paper, known for its tensile strength and distinctive rustic look. Since paper alone cannot hold liquids for extended periods, an inner lining is applied: PE coating (polyethylene): Reliable for waterproofing but not compostable. PLA coating (polylactic acid): Plant-based, industrially compostable, and aligned with European and U.S. standards.

Yes. Cornstarch trays with lids are strong enough for hot meals and delivery. They are leak-resistant, compostable, and available in 1, 2, 3, and 5-compartment designs, making them a sustainable replacement for plastic takeout containers.
