ALUMINIUM CONTAINERS

The characteristics of aluminium make it an ideal material for food packaging. It is temperature stable, has excellent heat conductivity, is non-toxic, odourless and moisture resistant. These advantages make aluminium foil containers ideal for various applications within the food industry - food can be chilled, frozen, baked, reheated and grilled.

Aluminium is 100% recyclable and will not release toxins into the enviroment. The scrap aluminium can be reused in manuafacturing more aluminium products, after its initial production, the process involves simply re-melting the metal, which is far less expensive and energy-intensive than creating new aluminium.

The FSC Certified board that is used is made with an aquaeous coating. Eco Sorted only sell the brown FSC cerified board with a aqueous coating, we do not sell the plastic lined or plastic lids that are available.

For further information on the raw materials and international certification, please refer to the Raw Materials and International Certification headings on this webpage. We have tried to simplify the terminology so consumers can understand.
