Material and Sustainability

High-Transparency Food-Grade PET

Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) is recognized globally for its clarity, strength, recyclability, and food-safe performance. The NL500-PET lid leverages premium PET to deliver a clean, glass-like finish that enhances product display and increases customer confidence in food freshness.

Recyclable and Environmentally Responsible

While not compostable like bagasse, PET offers strong sustainability benefits through recycling systems widely used around the world.

Environmental advantages include:

• ♻️ 100% recyclable in regions with PET recycling streams

• 🌍 Lower carbon footprint compared to PS or PVC

• 💧 Safe for direct food contact—BPA-free, odor-free

• 🔄 Supports circular economy packaging models

For brands combining natural bagasse bases with clear PET lids, this hybrid system helps balance presentation needs with sustainability goals.

Performance and Functionality

Secure Locking Mechanism

The lid snaps firmly into the reinforced rim of the bagasse container. This prevents accidental opening during:

• Delivery

• Transport

• Shelf display

Even liquids, sauced dishes, and moist foods remain well-contained.

Cold-Chain Ready

PET is ideal for refrigerated or chilled applications:

• Fresh salads

• Sushi

• Fruits

• Desserts

• Meal-prep foods

It resists becoming brittle at low temperatures, ensuring long-lasting performance.

Not Microwaveable

As with all PET lids, microwave use is not recommended. The lid is best paired with foods that require cold storage, room-temperature display, or reheating without the lid.

Grease-Resistant and Moisture Barrier

PET is naturally resistant to oil and condensation, protecting food appearance and preventing surface clouding.

Stackable for Efficient Operations

The lid’s structured top allows stable stacking for:

• Storage

• Delivery packing

• Retail merchandising

Businesses with high-volume operations benefit from improved workflow and reduced storage space.
