Reusable products: sustainable and renewable
Our ecobiopack merways Box reusable products are made of a bio compound. It consists of a composition of natural fibres and bio-polymers. Since each product has different requirements, there is a differentiation in the material mixture. The two types of our currently used bio-compounds are explained below.
The merways Box reusable range
The merways Box products are made from a bio-plastic composite material. This consists of natural fibres (from sustainable forestry) and bio-polypropylene (bio-PP). The Bio-PP is produced from vegetable oils and cooking oil residues, so that the bio-compound is made up of a total of 98 % renewable raw materials. The material used can also be recycled and is free of petroleum plastics, PLA and melamine.
The special bio-based material mixture means that the merways Box products are dishwasher-safe and temperature-resistant in accordance with DIN 12875-1. The merways Box reusable bowls are ideal for salads and unpackaged food, such as muesli, cereals or nuts. Together with the transparent lid, the contents also stay fresh and visible to customers.
