FAQ

Q: Are PP meat trays microwave-safe?

A: Many PP (#5) trays are microwaveable, but retail meat trays are typically intended for display in cold cases. Only microwave if the tray is explicitly labeled “microwave-safe,” and remember to remove the lidding film and absorbent pads beforehand.

Q: What foods are PP meat trays best for?

A: They are commonly used for fresh meat, poultry, and seafood, and also suitable for marinated cuts, deli items, and ready-to-cook portions due to their durability and grease resistance.

Q: Can PP meat trays be heat-sealed with lidding film?

A: Yes. PP trays are often sealed with compatible lidding films, including easy-peel or lock-seal types. The success of the seal depends on the film type, tray flange design, and the sealing temperature, time, and pressure.

Q: Are PP meat trays recyclable?

A: In many areas, PP is recyclable (resin code #5). Whether it can be recycled depends on local facilities and if the tray is clean and free from heavy contamination, labels, or multi-material components.
