Frequently Asked Questions about Clamshell Packaging:

What is clamshell packaging?

Clamshell packaging is a type of food packaging with an attached, hinged lid. These types of packaging are perfect for take-out or leftover foods. Often used by restaurants and food trucks, the sugarcane fiber clamshell container is the workhorse of the take out food industry.

What is compostable clamshell packaging made from?

Compostable plastic clamshell packaging is made from corn-based PLA. Fiber clamshell containers are made from wheat fiber or sugarcane bagasse. Clamshell containers are a sturdy and eco-friendly way to serve your patrons, guests, and family. All of our certified compostable clamshells meet the Biodegradable Products Institute (BPI) standards or ASTM 6400/6868.

What is the difference between biodegradable clamshells and compostable clamshells?

Biodegradable clamshells are any clamshell packaging that is made of a material that can be degraded through biological action, such as through digestion by micro-organisms. Compostable clamshells are clamshells that are tested and certified to meet the requirements of ASTM D6400 and are certified by a third-party such as the Biodegradable Products Institute. Green Paper Products only sells certified compostable clamshells.

What types of foods can be used in compostable clamshell containers?

Cold foods can be used in any of the clamshell containers, including the clear PLA clamshells. Clear PLA clamshells can melt at 105 degrees so these are not designed for warm or hot foods. For hot food, we recommend a fiber clamshell container, such as the sugarcane bagasse clamshells. These can tolerate higher temperatures.

Are there PFAS/PFOS Free Fiber Clamshell Containers?

Yes, all of our clear PLA clamshell containers have no added PFAS/PFOS. For fiber clamshell packaging, our Tellus brand fiber clamshell containers have no added PFAS or PFOS.
