Chuk, an initiative of Yash Pakka, has launched compostable delivery containers with an aim to put a stop to the use of single-use plastic for food delivery, thereby strengthening its resolve of working towards a cleaner planet.

The newly introduced delivery containers will be available in four different sizes – 350 ml, 500 ml, 750 ml, and 1000 ml. The 100% compostable delivery containers are manufactured using bagasse – the agri-residue of sugarcane. About 90% of the raw material being used by the company is sourced locally. After due usage, the products turn into compost within 180 days. The company says that these delivery products have been launched after rigorous research and development with multiple tests and trials being conducted using real-life delivery scenarios.

The delivery containers have already found some takers in brands such as Shri Mata Vaishnodevi Shrine Board, FabCafe, Salad Point, Greenit, and Basil Box. Further on, Chuk will cater to quick service restaurants (QSR), cloud kitchens and takeaway restaurants with its latest range. Over the last few years, Chuk has also been acknowledged with the highest design award from Red Dot Germany, Good Design in Japan, India Design and NCII, and thus it is also a favorite among brands looking for ergonomic designs for food service and delivery.

Satish Chamyvelumani, business head – compostables, Yash Pakka, said, “We have launched our delivery containers after rigorous research, multiple trials and customer feedback, as a reliable and sustainable alternative to other available products. Having already launched and raised awareness around compostable tableware products, foraying into the food delivery packaging space was the next natural progression for us. Our overarching goal has been to find alternatives for single-use plastic for a cleaner planet, and with the launch, we are solidifying our stance. We look forward to empowering delivery brands to offer safe food via our delivery containers, and to transform the way people consume their food.”
