Material and Compostability Clarification
The current HSQY specification describes this product as Cornstarch + PP. This is an important distinction when evaluating environmental claims because the terms “cornstarch-based,” “biodegradable” and “compostable” do not automatically mean the same thing.
If your market or customer requires certified compostable packaging, request the exact material composition and applicable third-party certification for this specific product before making compostability claims on packaging, marketing materials or tenders.
Relevant certification requirements may vary by destination market and composting system. Buyers should specify the required standard or certificate when requesting a quotation.
How to Choose 1 or 3 Compartment Food Containers
Choose 1 Compartment when the meal is served as one main portion or when ingredients do not need to be separated.
Choose 3 Compartments when entrées, vegetables, rice, sauces or side dishes should remain separated.
Consider Meal Volume: The current product capacity is 1200ml, making it suitable for full meal portions.
Consider Reheating: Tell HSQY if meals will be reheated in a microwave and provide the expected heating conditions.
Consider Freezer Storage: If products will be frozen before distribution, provide the expected storage temperature and duration.
Consider Environmental Requirements: If compostability certification is mandatory, provide the required standard and destination market before ordering.
