The compostable paper trays is mainly manufactured from renewable plant fiber and there is no plastic usage in its construction. Bamboo, corn starch, sugarcane pulp remnants (bagasse), palm leaves,  wheat bran,  Kraft paper, coconut coir, and other plant fibers are generally used to make compostable food trays. They are completely biodegradable and compostable and don't mix any toxic chemicals with the food. These compostable food trays have durability, a sleek design, superior strength, crack resistance and break resistance. Such trays are useful to store both warm and cold foods as they can be heated easily in the microwave or get frozen without damaging the proper packing. Moreover, they are convenient in accommodating food items that are heavy, light, solid, or liquid. It is widely accepted that food trays are the most user-friendly and convenient kind of food packaging as their airtight locking system can easily prevent any spills or leaks. The eco-friendly biodegradable market of food trays is expected to flourish during the Projection years since they are extracted and produced from wood pulp or plant fiber, both of which normally decompose naturally and usually pose zero threat to the environment.
