Frequently Asked Questions

1 - What compostable packaging does HuntOffice stock?

HuntOffice stocks a comprehensive range of compostable packaging including compostable hot and cold drink cups, lids, food boxes and containers, cutlery, napkins, drinking straws, plates, and paper carrier bags. These are suited to Irish food businesses, workplace canteens, and event catering operations looking to reduce single-use plastic. Our customer service team can help you identify the right products for your operation.

2 - Is compostable packaging a legal requirement in Ireland?

Ireland has implemented the EU Single-Use Plastics Directive, which restricts certain single-use plastic items including plates, cutlery, straws, and food containers. Compostable and paper-based alternatives are a common solution for food businesses seeking to comply. The specific requirements depend on the product type and your business category. Our customer service team can advise on compostable alternatives for the specific items you need to replace.

3 - What is the difference between compostable and biodegradable packaging?

Compostable packaging is designed to break down fully in a commercial composting environment within a specified timeframe, leaving no harmful residue. Biodegradable packaging will break down eventually but does not have the same certification standards or timeframe guarantees. For Irish businesses with access to commercial composting facilities, certified compostable packaging is the more robust environmental choice. Our customer service team can advise on products that carry EN 13432 compostable certification.

4 - Do compostable cups need special lids?

Compostable lids designed to fit compostable hot and cold drink cups are available at HuntOffice. It is important to use compatible lids to maintain the compostable credentials of your packaging chain. Our customer service team can confirm which lids are compatible with the compostable cups in our range.

5 - Can I order compostable packaging in bulk?

Compostable packaging is available in case quantities at HuntOffice, making bulk ordering practical for food businesses, event caterers, and workplace canteens. Our customer service team can provide a quote for volume orders with delivery across all 32 counties of Ireland.
