Once used, the salad bowl can be disposed of in the separate organic waste<br />
bin, collected and treated at an industrial composting facility , where it is<br />
subsequently transformed into compost. To help the consumer dispose of the<br />
product correctly, the word “Compostable” has been embossed on the bases and<br />
on the lids, as well as the logo, the certification marks and indication of the<br />
material type.<br />
The new MQ Bio range, in the previously listed sizes, follows the convenience<br />
trend and is optimized to guarantee good versatility. Born as a container for ready<br />
salads, this packaging meets the requirements regarding the conservation,<br />
exposure and consumption of fresh fruit, rice or pasta salads and, more generally,<br />
for cold gastronomy.<br />
The product is particularly suitable for retailers who are interested in the<br />
bio / organic food market, which has also grown significantly over the last<br />
five years. The consumer is increasingly alert and sensitive to issues related<br />
to environmental sustainability. Packaging is an important discriminator for<br />
consumers when choosing a product.<br />
The bio packaging of Sirap is aimed at consumers seeking a light lunch break<br />
or a healthy and organic snack. One of the most indicated channels is, therefore,<br />
that of food service and delivery. Thanks to the properties of the materials and<br />
its aesthetic features, the product is particularly suitable for organic and vegan<br />
takeaway restaurants or shops, for whom the biodegradability and compostability<br />
features will serve to underline their marketing message.<br />
Closed circuits, such as theme parks, school canteens, hospitals or airports,<br />
also offer potential, as they have the organization to guarantee the sale,<br />
consumption and recovery of bio-waste on site, thus simplifying management of<br />
the end of life of the packaging.<br />
