Role: Packaging Distributor

I am looking for a compostable container for bakery's to bake and sell there breads, pies, etc in. I contacted Bioshere Industires, but they are only doing large custom orders right now. Does anyone know of a company that is going this? I would also be interested in a container for prepared meals.

Your best bet for finding products that are stock items would be through a company named Bunzl Distribution, hope this helps.

If Renew-a-Pak™ from Biosphere Industries is not available you might try Ahlstrom's parchment paper baking trays.

I've never tried them and not sure of the support they give, but they are designed for all types of ovens and microwaves and are compostable and degradable and reportably have good release properties.

Hope this helps. Good luck!

(I was not able to insert a link to their website but if you search for Ahlstrom and parchment paper baking tray you should find it)

Several Options

Role: Packager

There are several options for bakeable substrates that are compostable. Many of them are listed above. PLA will not work for your application (it does not have the high temperature resistance required), bamboo-pulp may work well, traditional coated paper trays may work well, pressed paper may or may not work well, etc.

A lot will depend on how you are trying to bake them (at home baking typically doesn't pass 450 degree set points, industrial baking may exceed 600 degree set points), duration of the baking, and the specific type of product.

I know this isn't a ton of help or detail, but before your question can get answered in more detail more information is needed on your goals, scope, and product.

If I may pose one question for you, why compostable? As a waste control method compostability is limited in application in the U.S. (if you are talking Europe it is different). Have you done an analysis to see if the better overall option would be a highly recycled material (aluminum comes to mind) that has high recycle rates, value, and collection?

We offer a host of products including Compostable Clamshells and Compostable Trays which would be ideal for serving and packaging baked goods in addition to prepared meals.

All of our products are certified by the Biodegradable Products Institute (BPI) as well as by the ASTM standard.

hope this helps answer your question!
