Product Description
Notpla's 800ml white takeaway boxes are a compostable alternative to conventional food containers with petrol-based linings. Rather than a synthetic coating, the inside of each box is lined with a natural seaweed-based material that provides genuine moisture resistance without relying on fossil-fuel derivatives. The boxes are designed to handle a range of food types — hot or cold, wet or dry — and the seaweed lining creates a reliable barrier against leaks and soaking, which matters when containers are being filled at pace during busy service.
In operational terms, the key advantage here is that operators can use these boxes across a varied menu without needing separate container types for different moisture levels. The construction holds up well during transport, keeping food protected and presented correctly when it reaches the customer. For kitchens producing high volumes of takeaway and delivery orders, having a single box format that works across multiple dishes helps simplify packaging workflows.
- Compostable construction supports sustainability credentials without compromising function
- Seaweed lining resists moisture from wet or sauced dishes without petrol-based coatings
- Suitable for hot and cold food, reducing the need for multiple container formats
- Robust enough to maintain food integrity during courier and collection delivery
- Pack of 500 provides practical stock volume for busy takeaway operations
These boxes are well suited to takeaway restaurants, dark kitchens, cafés, and food-to-go operations looking to move away from conventional plastic-lined packaging. They are particularly relevant for operators whose customers place value on environmental responsibility, or where local authority or venue requirements favour compostable packaging. At 800ml, the box is a practical mid-size format — operators needing larger capacities for fuller portions or sharing dishes should consider whether an alternative size is more appropriate.
If you're unsure whether this size and format is the right fit for your menu and service style, we're happy to talk it through.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes — the seaweed-based lining is specifically designed to resist moisture, making these boxes suitable for wet dishes including sauced and liquid-rich foods. They are intended to perform where conventional uncoated cardboard boxes would soak through or leak.
- Notpla boxes are designed to be fully compostable and are intended for industrial or home compost streams rather than general recycling. Operators should verify acceptance with their local waste contractor, as collection infrastructure for compostable packaging varies by area.
- At 800ml, this is a practical mid-size format that works well for standard main-course portions such as rice dishes, pasta, or street food servings. Operators offering larger sharing portions or fuller meal deals may find this size limiting and should consider whether a larger capacity format is more appropriate for their menu.
