No matter where you go in the world you will find fast food outlets and takeaways on every street corner, all supplying wonderful food from many different cultures with the majority of it served in or on polystyrene trays. How did we ever manage before the wonderful invention that is the polystyrene food tray!
Take your local chippy for instance. Gone are the days when you get ‘a bag’ of chips, as today more often than not you are sure to receive your chips in a white polystyrene tray of some sort. You can even get polystyrene trays with lids attached these days, trays that will keep your food warm while you drive back home from the takeaway.
If you have bought a burger recently you will have no doubt received it in a square polystyrene tray with a lid. They are very practical actually because once it is opened you simply tips your fries into the lid and hey presto your meal is ready without the need for a plate. How about those baked potatoes that were so popular in the 1980’s! They always came in one of those polystyrene trays with a lid didn’t they! Other foods that are often presented in polystyrene trays are things like kebabs and salads, or even the humble sandwich can be found served on a plastic polystyrene food tray these days.
Joking aside polystyrene trays are actually very practical and can easily be recycled once you have finished with them. Your meat from the supermarket will no doubt be placed on a polystyrene tray of some sort, as will items like pre-packed fish and pre-packed fruit. These trays help reduce packaging costs as the large supermarket chains can literally buy millions of these little polystyrene trays to present their food upon.
There are many companies that now supply polystyrene trays and polystyrene food platters. They can be bought in large numbers for very little expense, and unlike food stuffs they can sit in a box or on a self and never go out of date. If you require a batch for yourself simply log on to the internet to find your nearest supplier.
