Guide To Heat-resistant Paper: Materials, Standards & Best Practices | Bioleader® Guides

Under industrial composting conditions, molded pulp trays typically decompose within 60–90 days. In home composting systems, they may take 90–120 days depending on climate and microbial activity — heat-resistant paper.

Yes. High-quality eco trays are heat-resistant up to 120°C and freezer-safe. They’re ideal for packing hot dishes like rice and curries or cold items like salads, desserts, and refrigerated meals — heat-resistant paper.

Yes, many takeaway containers—especially those made from sugarcane bagasse or microwave-safe plastics—are designed to withstand high temperatures. Always check the specific material to ensure safe reheating.
