Compostable food trays:
Eat-now or Eat-soon applications

Our compostable trays follow the "four OKs":

OK Ovenable

Our compostable trays are safe in the oven at 140°C (284 ̊F) for 45 minutes

OK Microwavable

Our compostable trays are also suitable for microwaves, operating perfectly for up to 5 minutes at 750W or 900W of power for 3 minutes.

As in the conventional oven, the outer surface of the tray is not heated and the tray does not lose its stiffness.

OK Freezeable

The trays are suitable for freezers, up to -40°C (-40 ̊F) without altering the packaging or, of course, the organoleptic qualities of the food. They can go from the freezer directly to the oven or microwave without altering the performance of the tray.

OK Compostable

Recyclable (when liner removed) and 100% compostable and can therefore be disposed of with organic waste by creating a quality compost.


Common questions and answers

What are compostable food trays?
Compostable food trays are trays made of a special material to enable them to be placed in the compost rather than in the garbage. The trays are made from a special cellulose material which breaks down more quickly than traditional plastic trays. This reduces the amount of plastic that ends up in landfills, and helps to reduce your carbon footprint. Because these trays begin to biodegrade quicker than traditional plastic trays, these trays are best suited for meals that will be eaten immediately, or in the near future.

How are compostable food trays different from regular plastic or paper trays?
Compostable trays offer many of the same benefits as plastic trays, with the convenience of paper trays. They are more durable than paper, but can be composted. This provides benefits to the envorinment while maintaining much of the durability of traditional plastic trays. There are different qualities of compostable trays with different features. Cima-Pak's compostable trays can be sealed, placed directly in the oven or microwave and placed in freezer. This versatility means that these trays go beyond temporary storage, but can replace many traditional plastic trays that you may already be using, especially for eat-now or eat-soon applications.
