ORVED Compostable Vacuum Trays for Food Packaging

Vacuum trays of natural cellulose pulp hold food securely during packaging and storage, then break down in composting after use. The material absorbs no moisture and resists the heat of sealing, so it keeps the protective atmosphere intact without warping or leaking. Once the meal is finished, the tray and any food residue go straight into wet waste for composting, cutting waste separation in professional kitchens.

The trays are loaded with prepared food, placed in a thermosealer or modified-atmosphere packaging machine, and sealed under vacuum or gas. The cellulose pulp withstands the sealing temperature and pressure, forming a rigid container that protects the contents from oxygen and moisture. After transport or refrigerated storage, the tray is opened and the food served directly from it.

Each tray is formed from a single sheet of cellulose pulp, pressed into shape without glues or coatings. The material is compostable certified, so it decomposes in industrial composting facilities alongside food waste. The trays arrive in a pack of 320, each measuring 227 mm long, 176 mm wide and 50 mm high, and weighing 28 g.

The 227 mm length fits standard vacuum chambers and sealing bars, while the 50 mm depth holds generous portions without crowding. The 28 g weight keeps shipping costs low and makes handling easy during high-volume packaging. The compostable certification ensures compliance with waste regulations in food-service operations.

After use, the trays are disposed of with food waste in wet-waste bins. No rinsing or scraping is needed; the pulp absorbs no odours or residues that would require cleaning. The trays are single-use, so no washing or sanitising is necessary, reducing water and detergent use in commercial kitchens.

These trays are supplied in a single size and material, with no variants or options. They are compatible with ORVED and other thermosealers and modified-atmosphere packaging machines that accept compostable trays of the stated dimensions.

In the catalogue, these trays are listed under compostable packaging for food service and catering.
