Sustainable and single-use aluminium plates

If we read single use aluminium plates, we will hardly think of a truly sustainable product because although most of the products we buy are now made to have a particularly short life cycle, not all of them can be recycled. As a result, we are witnessing an increase in waste, even though there are now fewer and fewer free places that can be used to create landfills, and a waste of natural resources. In addition, many materials that are often used to make a single-use product are particularly harmful to our planet. So, it isn’t difficult to think that there is underlying skepticism when reading that a single-use aluminiu plate can also be sustainable.

Aluminium plates: a recyclable solution

What makes aluminium plates eco-friendly is precisely the material they are made of. Aluminium, in fact, is 100 percent and infinitely recyclable, representing an ideal solution for single use. Once used and cleaned, the plate can be balled up and thrown into the appropriate recycling bin. From that moment it will begin to be part of the aluminium recycling process which involves its total recovery and reuse in other products.

Type of single-use aluminium plates

In 2020, Contital launched on the market a range of sustainable and single-use aluminium plates: they are not only made with an infinitely recyclable material, but also made up of 100 percent recycled aluminium. Our plates are available in plain and lacquered aluminium, square and circular shapes and are resealable with lids in recyclable material. The range, which includes various types as dessert, dinner, soup and bowl, comprehends different packaging for large-scale retail trade and the food industry. The entire line can be used to preserve food both in the refrigerator and in the freezer, and to reheat meals in the traditional oven or microwave.
