LifeisGoood asked:


I want to start a business and I want to sell food, ie fruit, juicy food.
The food is not going to be hot and so I don’t need temperature protection from the container.
I was thinking about corn-made plastic (because I thought it will biodegrade but it turns out to be not as convenient as I thought it was). The best solution is some substance that will not be a burden to the landfill. Any suggestion?
But wouldn’t glass be too dangerous? And heavy too…

I want my produc to be family-friendly.

Glass jars with metal lids. It’s all recyclable

EDIT:
Then how about #1 or #2 plastic jars. they are recylable also. (PETE or HTPE).

Glass

With a deposit on the containers that is large enough to actually get them returned.

There are a lot of legal risks to packaging food, it is highly regulated. Unless you have a degree in food science I would suggest you be VERY careful.

For the users kudos recycled plastic molds grow on the most durable than new bottles actually contains more durable than earthcycle packaging one should also consider its safety for cooked food stores if you want to company that does ecofriendly food or berries you might want.
