World centric 5 compartment compostable cafeteria trays are for cafeteria serving. Length: 10.3-inch; width: 8.3-inch; height: 1.0-inch. Natural brown color, unbleached product made from sugarcane (fiber/bagasse) and wheatstraw fiber. Sugarcane and wheatstraw are not only annually renewable resources, but can also be turned into products normally made from plastic or paper. Bagasse is sugarcane fiber remaining after extraction of juice from sugarcane, and wheatstraw is the remaining plant material after the wheat grain and chaff have been extracted. Discarded waste makes these byproducts compostable tableware. These sturdy and strong trays are microwave and freezer safe, can be used for both hot and cold items, have no plastic or wax lining, and can handle hot liquids up to 220 degrees fahrenheit (moisture forms at the bottom for hot food items). They meet astm d-6400 standard for compostability. Though these compostable trays are soak proof, hot items will cause the plates to perspire and some condensation will form at the bottom. These compostable five compartment school trays are a great replacement for styrofoam school trays, used widely in schools throughout the usa and canada. Our products meet fda standards for food contact and are gluten-free. They are made from the wheat stalks and not from the food grain which stores the proteins and allergens. Please note that composting is required for biodegradation. These compostable trays will biodegrade within 30 days in a commercial composting facility, and within 90 days in a home composting system. 400 trays per case.
