Welcome to The BOTTLEBOX page. We make sustainable take-out containers from recycled beverage bottles and thermoformed packaging.

Our mission is to increase recycling so we can use turn even more used packaging into new take-out containers again. We use millions and millions of recycled beverage bottles and thermoformed packaging every year to make our range of BOTTLEBOX® containers. The BOTTLEBOX®, founded by Direct Pack in 2008, is the original take-out container made from post-consumer recycled PET plastic. In our full circle process, we are dedicated to working for a sustainable future and making recycling attractive.

Are BOTTLEBOX® materials recyclable in California?

With EPR legislation rolling out across multiple states, California’s SB 54 is one of the most comprehensive, with a strong focus on plastic recycling, source reduction, and circular economy goals.

As a result, material recyclability has become a key baseline for meeting these targets. For food business owners, this directly impacts packaging choices, compliance requirements, and long-term sustainability strategies.

Good packaging should let the food shine. ✨

For this project with one of our customer partners, the design was kept clean and minimal so the colors, textures, and presentation of the dish can stand out naturally.

Myth: Recycled plastic food containers aren’t safe for food.

Truth: Food grade recycled PET (rPET) must meet strict regulatory standards before it can be used in food packaging.

Through advanced sorting, cleaning, and verification processes, used plastic can be safely turned into new food containers, helping keep valuable materials in circulation.

By incorporating recycled materials into our food packaging, we help keep valuable materials in use and support a more circular packaging system.

Design doesn’t start with a finished product. It starts with curiosity. 🌺

We wanted to show the discovery phase in our custom design process. Before tooling, production, or printing, we explore possibilities. We study brand elements. We test combinations. We ask: How can packaging enhance the dining experience while staying aligned with our material goals?

Every custom project begins with exploration. Because great packaging isn’t just made; it’s thoughtfully developed.

From inspiration to production, we design with purpose.
