Ozarka offers a complete solution for food takeout, catering, events, festivals and delivery eliminating unnecessary disposable packaging.
Ozarka’s range of food containers are made from food-grade silicone, borosilicate and polypropylene. Food vendors and customers use Ozarka to provide a circular reusable alternative to take-out containers. Containers are filled, will be tracked through a variety of technological means, and processed in cleaning facilities ready for reuse.
Customers, businesses and councils can benefit from this product.
The business considerably reduces the need for single use packaging with little cost changes to traditional containers of yester-year. There’ll be less soiled packaging heading to landfill. With a reliable cleaning service and increased customer loyalty for independent food retailers new green-credentials, the circularity of Ozarka’s business model has plenty of appeal and potential.
