Sustainability in Food Packaging
Teal Packaging is committed to sustainable food packaging solutions. Our custom bento boxes use FSC-certified paper options from responsibly managed forests, ensuring your packaging choice supports environmental conservation. The certification guarantees that paper sources meet strict environmental and social standards.
Soy-based inks reduce environmental impact while maintaining excellent print quality. These renewable inks are biodegradable and produce fewer harmful emissions than traditional alternatives. All our boxes are available with recyclable options by specification, allowing consumers to dispose of packaging responsibly through standard paper recycling programs.
For businesses with strong sustainability commitments, we offer compostable packaging options that break down naturally in commercial composting facilities. This allows you to reduce your environmental footprint while maintaining the quality and functionality your food service operations require.
