WHY WE USE ALUMINUM:

At Lucky Sparrow Kitchen, we care deeply about how our food is made — and how it’s packaged.
After researching many options, we chose aluminum containers because they’re the most responsible, practical, and sustainable choice for the kind of food we serve.

We chose aluminum because it’s safe, durable, widely recyclable, and aligned with our values of thoughtful, low-waste food service.

Here’s why:
✔ Infinitely recyclable
Aluminum can be recycled again and again without losing quality — unlike plastic.
✔ Better for hot, fresh food
Our meals are meant to be reheated safely. Aluminum is oven-safe, heat-stable, and doesn’t leach chemicals.
✔ Lower real-world environmental impact
While aluminum takes energy to produce, recycling it uses 95% less energy than making new aluminum — and it’s one of the most commonly recycled materials in the U.S.
✔ No microplastics
Unlike plastic or compostable coatings, aluminum won’t break down into microplastics when heated.
✔ The most honest option available
Many “compostable” containers only break down in industrial facilities that don’t exist in most areas. Aluminum actually gets recycled.

♻️ HOW TO RECYCLE YOUR CONTAINER (BEST PRACTICE)

We make it easy to do the right thing:

✔ Rinse lightly to remove food
✔ Remove any paper labels or lids
✔ Place in your regular recycling bin
✔ Reuse it at home (great for leftovers or freezer meals!)

💡 Fun fact: Nearly 75% of all aluminum ever produced is still in use today.
