Chefs put their heart into every dish. But what happens when that dish goes out the door? Packaging matters—not just for presentation, but for freshness, functionality, and the message it sends about your restaurant. That’s where World Centric’s NoTree® Collection comes in.
Designed with chefs in mind, NoTree® cups and bowls offer a durable, compostable alternative to traditional food packaging. Made from FSC® certified bamboo fiber, these products deliver the performance you need—without the plastic, the waste, or the environmental guilt. Whether you’re serving up a piping hot latte, a comforting bowl of ramen, or a fresh grain bowl to go, NoTree® packaging is designed to handle it all.
What Makes NoTree® Different?
While most paper-based takeout containers rely on virgin tree fiber and petroleum-based linings, making them tough to even recycle, NoTree® paper is designed to break down and return to soil when composted.
- Made from fast-growing bamboo – Unlike traditional paper products that rely on deforestation, NoTree® paper products use bamboo, a rapidly renewable resource that requires no replanting.
- Lined with a bio-based compostable coating – Unlike petroleum-based coatings, which create toxicity and environmental pollution, NoTree® containers use a bio-based compostable lining made from plant sugars that resists grease and moisture buildup.
- FSC® certified – This certification ensures that the materials used come from responsibly managed forests, helping to protect biodiversity and ecosystems.
- 100% compostable – NoTree® paper products break down in industrial composting facilities, preventing unnecessary landfill waste and offering a sustainable end-of-life solution.
Performance Meets Sustainability
While sustainability is important, functionality is essential. NoTree® hot cups and bowls are designed to perform under pressure—whether it’s the heat of freshly brewed coffee or the moisture of steaming soup. They maintain structural integrity, resist leaks, and provide a premium feel that matches the quality of your culinary creations.
- Hot Cups – Available in multiple sizes, these cups are sturdy, leak-resistant, and designed for everything from hot chocolate to craft lattes and teas.
- Bowls – From hearty ramen to fresh poke bowls, NoTree® bowls are built to handle both hot and cold foods. They won’t turn soggy or lose their shape, ensuring that food looks and tastes its best from kitchen to customer.
