Ditch Styrofoam for new Karat recyclable food containers!

Polystyrene is being phased out and banned in many cities across the country, and that has food service businesses looking for alternative food packaging. Savvy consumers are looking for sustainable products that won’t impact the environment, and U.S.-based Karat is stepping up to the plate.

We’ve been reliant on polystyrene (aka Styrofoam) as food and beverage take-out containers since the 1930’s, but recent research shows the material may be harmful to both people and the environment. Karat has created a variety of recyclable foodservice containers, cups and cutlery to meet the demand for greener products.

One particular line is created from sugar cane fibers that are durable and sustainable. They’re also microwave safe. Karat offers custom printing so your products can really stand out from the crowd!
