We thought that we had great packaging. We really did. However, our cardboard food containers were coated with plastic film and recyclable only on paper. So, we got better and chose a new material! The results? Even better-than-expected packaging: recycled, recyclable and compostable. New food containers have a layer of activated carbon. That means: MAXIMUM HYGIENE!
Plastic film-free and ready to be composed.
Packaging
is recyclable.
Throw away for
industrial composting or
with general waste.

Clean part: We gave up the plastic film and now everything is actually recyclable. So if it’s not stained with grease - feel free to throw it in a paper container!
Greasy part: By the end of 2023 collection points for compostable waste will be installed in all European cities. And we are ready for that! Stained parts of our packaging are compostable.
Sustainable production: Although our packaging material is already recycled, we are happy that we are working with companies that have market-recognized responsible forestry certificates. In this way, we aim to ensure the environmentally sound management and administration of forests.~

Have you ever wondered about the origin of the product? We did. We made sure that cardboard production was relatively close to the packaging manufacturer in Lithuania. We are taking Fresh Post franchise growth into account, and with new salad bars opening in other countries, we will always try to optimize our logistics. This way we will minimize the negative effect of transportation.

Greasy part: We are ready for change! Our packaging can be composted industrially, and by the end of 2023, all European cities will have bins for compostable waste. Until then if there is no industrial composting bin nearby throw contaminated packaging part into a general waste bin.
Composting in Article 22, page 27
Clean part: There is no more plastic film in our packaging, so if the part of the packaging is not heavily greased - feel free to throw it in a paper recycling bin.
"And what about the sticker on the lid?", you would ask.
Not a problem! We also replaced the sticker. Now it is made from paper.

Let’s go back to the start. Before turning into a Fresh Post box, it was just recycled materials. After recycling, the packaging can be transformed into another packaging or, if the material has already been recycled many times, into a napkin or toilet paper. After a while, paper fibers become too short to make new products. Paper can be recycled up to 7 times. So if the packaging is clean - make sure to sort it with paper waste.
