The middle layer of each container features 100% post-consumer recycled content, offering a sturdy and lightweight package.
Novolex innovation senior vice-president Adrianne Tipton said: “EcoCraft Fresh & Crispy containers solve a problem that has long troubled restaurants and caterers – how to keep fried foods warm and crispy until they are delivered.
