Our World Centric™ 15 oz. plant-fiber Take-Out Hoagie Box containers (measuring 8.5” x 6.5” x 3”) are made from residual sugarcane fiber and wheatstraw, obtained after juice and grain extraction. They can withstand temperatures of up to 200 degrees Fahrenheit and are great for hot items.
Our plant fiber based products are now made from sugarcane (bagasse) and wheatstraw fiber. Sugarcane and wheatstraw are not only annually renewable resources, but can also be turned into products normally made from plastic or paper. Bagasse is the sugarcane fiber remaining after extraction of juice from sugarcane and the wheatstraw is the remaining plant material after the wheat grain and chaff have been extracted. We use these byproducts to make compostable tableware. We carry an assortment of sizes (small burger box to 9” x 9” x 3”) and also carry some clamshells with compartments. Our clamshells are primarily unbleached, so they come in a natural light brown color.

Though these compostable clamshells are soak proof, hot items will cause the plates to “perspire” and some condensation will form at the bottom.
Our products meet FDA standards for food contact and are Gluten-Free. They are made from the wheat stalks and not from the food grain which stores the proteins and allergens.
These products are BPI (Biodegradables Product Institute) Certified.
Please note that composting is required for biodegradation. These compostable clamshells will biodegrade within 30 days in a commercial composting facility, and within 90 days in a home composting system.
