As of October 1st 2023, a ban on single-use plastics came in to effect. This means the following food packaging will no longer be available to order on our website:
- FD15 – 430ml Rectangular White EPS Foam Container and Lid
- FD26 – 740ml Rectangular White EPS Foam Container and Lid
- FD34 – 970ml Rectangular White EPS Foam Container and Lid
The law applies to hospitality businesses like fast food / take away restaurants, but not to shops like Butchers & Supermarkets plus single use plastic manufacturers. So if you run a takeaway that sells Kebabs, Burger & Chips, Chicken & Chips etc now is the time to look at the packaging you currently use and be prepared to make the necessary changes to ensure you continue to operate within the law.
We stock a range of environmentally friendly alternatives which will do an equally good job!
