Papstar Circulware reusable rectangular 3-compartment tray, black, polypropylene with 30% mineral fillers, model 97023

Papstar Circulware reusable rectangular 3-compartment tray (black) is a durable meal tray made from polypropylene with 30% mineral fillers. Model 97023 is designed to separate main courses and side dishes within three distinct compartments while supporting repeated use in professional and domestic environments. The tray is suitable for meal serving, portion control and transport where a solid, reusable alternative to disposable containers is required.

Advantages

The tray combines polypropylene strength with mineral fillers to improve rigidity and heat resistance compared with plain plastic trays. Its three compartments maintain food separation to protect flavors and presentation. The rectangular shape and flat underside make stacking and storage efficient, while the smooth surface enables straightforward cleaning and reuse. The black finish offers a neutral, professional appearance suitable for varied catering contexts.

Suitable for

• Canteens and staff dining areas
• Event catering and buffet service
• Takeaway meals intended for returnable use
• Portion-controlled meal service in institutions (schools, hospitals)

When it may not be suitable

The tray is intended for repeated use but is not designed for direct open-flame cooking or contact with extremely high temperatures beyond typical food service handling. It may not be appropriate where certified microwave, oven-safe, or sterilization specifications are required; check your facility requirements before relying on it for high-temperature sterilization processes.
