ROLLED ALUMINIUM

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.
