Foil Trays
Aluminium may be old news but Foil Trays are the perfect solution for cooking, baking or serving foods, whether shaping or supporting pastries or simply to serve sandwiches on. There are also many benefits derived from using Foil Trays over other options of materials available in the market place today.
Aluminium used in the production of Foil Trays has been produced for over 150 years commercially with no notable associated problems with food contamination or chemicals being ingested by human beings or adverse reactions with foodstuffs. Except the use of lemon derivatives which can affect the appearance of Foil Trays. In fact, Foil Trays have been used successfully for many years and are ideal in today’s pressurised food presentation environment where flexibility and versatility are key and drive product choice and decision making.
Aluminium Foil Trays can be easily and readily pressed into those many shapes required by end users. In the kitchen, once the dish has been prepared the Aluminium Foil Tray can then be put into the freezer, exposed to incredibly low temperatures before being transferred to the highest temperatures in the oven with no consequence to the food in flavour, taste or appearance.
Foil Trays also feature in keeping with the current demand for green products. Foil Trays are readily recyclable. Use a Foil Tray then it can be recycled again and again. Foil Trays are lightweight thus minimising transportation costs. Another way that the use of Foil Tray can help the environment.
A Foil Tray also can be conveyed as a healthier option as there is little known migration from the aluminium unlike PVC plasticisers, for example. There is no impact on taste or the flavour of food stored or cooked in a Foil Tray. Notably in the green stakes, Aluminium is also a sustainable metal with reserves being in place for hundreds of years to come, even at today’s level of aluminium production. Also with recycled material there is less energy used in the processing of waste. The Foil Tray once used can then be put into the recycling chain. Recycling of Aluminium Foil has been established for many years. The process uses far less energy than when aluminium is originally produced. This makes Foil Tray greener than those constructed from plastic, whose recycling is complicated and because sorting the many different types of plastic becomes difficult. Just a small amount of the wrong type of plastic mixed in with the rest will make the entire batch of recycled useless.
