Eco packaging still has to survive the meal.
FoodPackLab keeps the decision grounded: what the packaging touches, how long it travels, and what the environmental claim really depends on.
- Heat fit Check whether the container or cutlery holds up under hot rice, curry, noodles, or packed meals.
- Oil and grease Match coatings, fibre structure, and food type before using packaging for fried or oily food.
- Wet food risk Soup, gravy, and delivery time can change what works, even when a material looks similar.
- Eco claim clarity Separate recyclable, compostable, biodegradable, and lower-plastic claims before purchase.
