Eco-Friendly
Soup containers get a bad rap when it comes to the environment. They are often not recyclable, and even if they are, many of them end up in landfills. However, this does not have to be the case. There are companies that manufacture food packaging products with a film or plastic covering that is both compostable and recyclable.
These eco-friendly soup containers are ideal for takeout orders and food delivery. They’re also a great option for restaurants, cafes, and even food trucks. They’re made with heavy-weight double poly-coated paperboard, making them durable and moisture resistant.
They also feature a unique insulating material that keeps foods at the right temperature and protects against spills and leaks. These containers are microwavable and can be used with lids.

Recyclable
Carton containers, such as those used for takeout soup and salads are typically recyclable with curbside programs. Be sure to follow proper recycling etiquette, including removing plastic lids and straws from cartons before tossing them in the blue box and rinsing empty cartons. Also, check with your local program for specific guidelines on what types of plastics can go in the blue bin.
Expanded polystyrene (EPS), commonly called styrofoam, is not recyclable. EPS is a petroleum-based product that leaches toxins into the environment, including cadmium, mercury and lead. It’s also a poor insulator, so leftover soup and other hot foods will often arrive at home cold.
Black plastic food trays from Chinese restaurants and those plastic clamshells that come with frozen meals can’t be recycled either. These containers are coated, and the dark color interferes with scanners at recycling plants. A polite email to your favorite restaurant may help. Ask them to switch to environmentally-friendly alternatives, such as reusable plates and containers made from plant-based materials.
