9-in Three Compartment Compostable Clamshell Take-Out Box - Pack

In this review the Green Earth 9-in three compartment compostable clamshells are evaluated for restaurants and home cooks who need sturdy, ecofriendly take-out packaging in bulk. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of a true compostable material and practical design: these are made from bagasse, contain no plastic or wax lining, and provide three compartments that keep entrees and sides separated. Our review found them especially useful for hot or cold meals when industrial composting is available and when a bulk, cost-effective supply is required.

Key Features

• Three compartments: The divided layout keeps main dishes and sides separate, reducing sogginess and improving presentation for take-out orders.
• Bagasse construction: Made from sugarcane fiber, the material handles hot foods well and avoids plastics for a more ecofriendly choice.
• BPI certified compostable: Certified for industrial composting, these containers break down in the right facility instead of contributing to landfill waste.
• Microwave safe: Safe reheating in most microwaves makes these convenient for customers retrieving hot meals.
• Oil and liquid resistant: The containers resist oil and light liquids so they can hold a variety of foods without immediate leakage.
• Bulk pack of 200: Supplied in four bags of 50, the pack size supports commercial use in restaurants, food trucks, and catering.

Who It's For

These clamshells are ideal for food service businesses such as cafes, diners, food trucks, and catering operations that need an ecofriendly alternative to foam and plastic disposables and have access to industrial composting. They also suit home users who prepare large meals for events or who prefer compostable options for take-away and meal prep.

Customers who require long-term liquid storage, backyard composting, or heavy-duty reusable containers should look elsewhere; the design is intended for single-use service and industrial composting rather than long-duration liquid containment or repeated reuse.
