How Green Is Your Takeaway Container?

Your food can’t go everywhere exposed to the elements; it needs packaging. Unfortunately, that packaging often takes massive amounts of energy to create, and much of it doesn’t properly decompose.

Chow rated some common ones and put it on a scale from 1 (bad) – 5 (good):

  1. Styrofoam
  2. Plastic
  3. Paper or plastic bags
  4. Cardboard boxes
  5. Bioproducts (bioplastics)

Jump to the article itself to find out the rest and get more info on each type of the packaging.
