We know food containers well - we manufacture them! Our motto has always been ‘RE-USE’ and that’s why we made products that are durable and versatile for use by businesses and consumers alike.
Our recent article describing the different end-of-life options for food service waste explained that each option – biodegrading, composting or recycling – requires some level of processing that is attached to its own environmental footprint. All except re-using, which is when a food container is repeatedly used for the same purpose: to contain food. But re-purposing is just as green of an option and the possibilities are endless when you use a container for non-food purposes.
We started an idea-sharing display at work called “Life After Food”, where our colleagues brought in some inspired ideas on how they’re re-purposing their CuBE containers at home.
Here are our top 10 favorites:
We are always thrilled to see our containers find new homes and new purposes. Feel free to share your ideas with us too! You can do so via our social media pages below or drop us an email.

As manufacturers, we understand our responsibility to our customers, consumers and the environment. We do our best to minimize our footprint throughout the lifecycle of our product. We produce a product that we hope will avoid the landfill altogether and we continually look for partnerships to close the loop on our product’s end-of-life, if and when a consumer decides it’s time.
