Eco packaging type FAQs
Which eco packaging type is best for oily food?
It depends on coating, structure, food temperature, and delivery time. Test with the actual menu item before buying in volume.
Should cafes switch every item to compostable packaging?
Not automatically. Compostable claims require the right collection and processing conditions, which may not match every Malaysian F&B use case.
