Paperboard clamshells — FSC-certified and recyclable

Every paperboard clamshells specification is food-contact safe under UK and EU Regulation 1935/2004, made from FSC-certified kraft paperboard sourced from responsibly managed forests. The format is fully recyclable through standard paper streams (where uncontaminated by grease or food residue) and offers a paper-based alternative to expanded polystyrene and conventional plastic. Certification documents accompany trade-account orders or can be supplied on request for HACCP audits.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the minimum order?

There is no minimum order on the paperboard clamshells range — buy a single case or order by the pallet. The same trade pricing applies in either case, with no small-order surcharge. Volume tiers add discount on pallet quantities; full pricing breakpoints are visible after registering a trade account.

Are paperboard clamshells recyclable?

Yes — paperboard clamshells are made from FSC-certified kraft paperboard and recyclable through standard paper streams, provided they aren't significantly contaminated by grease or food residue. For grease-heavy applications, bagasse alternatives compost rather than recycle. Certification documents are available on request.

What's the difference between paperboard and bagasse clamshells?

Paperboard clamshells are made from wood pulp (FSC-certified kraft) and are recyclable through paper streams. Bagasse clamshells are made from sugarcane fibre and are home-and-industrial compostable within 60–90 days. Paperboard handles drier formats; bagasse better tolerates hot, oily and saucy foods.

How fast do paperboard clamshells ship?

Orders placed before 1pm dispatch the same working day from Newcastle. Free local delivery applies on trade orders over £99 within the Newcastle delivery zone; UK-wide orders ship on a paid next-day courier service charged at checkout.
