CHUK Debuts New Compostable Tableware Aimed at QSRs and Caterers

CHUK, the flagship brand of Pakka, has introduced new additions to its 100 percent compostable tableware collection, aimed at reducing single-use plastic and advancing its vision for a cleaner planet. The latest products include a beverage cup, a 4-inch dona, and a 3-compartment snack tray, all crafted from bagasse, the agri-residue of sugarcane.

The new range from CHUK is designed to meet the sustainability demands of the food service industry. The bagasse beverage cup, a first in its category, offers a robust, heat-resistant, and compostable solution suitable for both hot and cold drinks, making it ideal for cafes and restaurants. The 4-inch dona serves as a durable, compact alternative for serving appetizers and desserts, especially useful for caterers and event planners. Meanwhile, the 3-compartment snack tray, with its versatile design, is perfect for food truck vendors and casual dining setups at festivals and outdoor events.

These products are intended to cater to a broad spectrum of businesses, from quick-service restaurants (QSRs) to catering services and established food chains, addressing the growing demand for environmentally responsible packaging solutions.

Satish Chamyvelumani, Business Head, Compostables Division said, “The newly launched compostable tableware is a result of our continuous research, trials, and customer feedback. CHUK stands at the forefront of sustainable and innovative packaging solutions, and the new offerings are yet another step towards transforming the food service industry by offering high-quality, compostable alternatives to single-use plastics. We look forward to helping brands as well as individuals from the food industry to contribute towards cleaner earth and transform the way people consume food.”

In 2023, CHUK introduced compostable delivery containers that have quickly gained traction among major brands including Haldiram's, Bikanervala, Chaipoint, and Taco Bell. Specialty food services such as Shri Mata Vaishnodevi Shrine Board, Ram Mandir Trust, FabCafe, Salad Point, Greenit, and Basil Box have also adopted CHUK’s delivery containers.

The company has received numerous prestigious design awards, including the Red Dot Award from Germany, the Good Design Award from Japan, the India Design Award, and the NCII Award. These accolades highlight CHUK's commitment to delivering ergonomic and visually appealing designs for food service and delivery.
