Features of Häppy reusable packaging
Can Häppy Compagnie's reusable containers be put in the dishwasher?
Yes, our reusable packaging is dishwasher safe according to DIN EN 12875 standards. Our reusable cutlery is dishwasher safe. The term “dishwasher safe” means that the use and appearance of the reusable plates, bowls, cups, plates, menu boxes, and lids are not compromised even after 125 dishwasher cycles. Cleaning in the dishwasher or in commercial and industrial dishwashers is also possible without any issues. However, products labeled as dishwasher safe or dishwasher resistant may be cleaned in the dishwasher at your own risk; however, damages may occur due to the lack of DIN standardization.
Are the printed reusable bowls also dishwasher safe?
Yes, our printed reusable packaging is also dishwasher safe and can be cleaned in the dishwasher or in commercial and industrial dishwashers.
How should the reusable packaging be stored?
Our reusable containers are conveniently stackable, allowing for secure, stable handling and saving storage space. Even with the lid closed, our reusable packaging can be stacked conveniently on top of each other.
Are the reusable containers interchangeable?
Yes, for space-saving storage, small and large bowls, cups, and beakers can be combined and stacked inside each other. They can also be stacked on top of each other even with closed lids.
What material are the reusable containers made of?
Our reusable packaging and cutlery are made from recyclable Bio-Compound, a composite material of natural fibers and biopolymers. It consists of 98 percent renewable raw materials, with a bio-PP content of 60 percent and a wood content of 40 percent. The wood flour used comes from sustainable forestry and provides natural antibacterial properties to our customizable reusable products.
Can the reusable packaging be placed in the freezer?
Yes, our reusable containers are freezer-safe and can be stored in the freezer. Our reusable packaging can withstand temperatures down to -18°C.
How hygienic is the use of Häppy reusable packaging?
Our reusable bowls, plates, cups, menu boxes, burger boxes, and lids can be easily cleaned in the dishwasher after use. After cleaning, they are ready for use again. The drainage grooves ensure that the dishwater does not collect at the bottom but can drain away easily.
Are the reusable containers food-safe?

We are happy to provide conformity declarations (Food Safety) or data sheets upon request: Inquiries can be made via contact@happy-compagnie.com.
Are the reusable containers antibacterial?
Yes, all reusable products made from Bio-Compound are antibacterial according to ISO 22196. Samples of the material are taken for testing according to ISO 22196 to determine the antibacterial activity of the product. Antibacterial means that the surface of our reusable containers prevents the formation and growth of bacteria and fungal cultures. The antibacterial properties of our customizable reusable packaging are due to the high wood content.
Are the reusable containers shatterproof?
Yes, the reusable containers and lids are shatterproof, robust, and stable. They have already proven this during use at several events.
What does BPA-free and melamine-free mean?
Both melamine, a white, odorless, and tasteless powder, and Bisphenol A (BPA), a synthetically produced compound, are substances used in the manufacture of certain plastics. They are often found in everyday products such as plastic tableware.
BPA is based on petroleum, a finite resource. Häppy Family’s reusable packaging consists of 98 percent bio-based and compostable substances, including wood and bioplastics. The composite material of these products is a Bio-Compound, a granulate that is shaped into the form of the respective product through injection molding. This Bio-Compound does not contain melamine or BPA. Therefore, it not only contributes to the conservation of finite resources such as petroleum but is also safe for use with food.
Are the reusable products microwave-safe?
Yes, our reusable packaging, when filled with food, can be heated in the microwave. The corresponding lids are excluded from this.
For which Häppy Family containers are lids available?
Our plates, bowls, cups, and reusable boxes can be complemented with the matching transparent or gray PP lid. The lid of our burger box is made from our Bio-Compound.
What are the advantages of the lids?
The reusable lids fit perfectly on the corresponding reusable container. They can be securely attached to the menu boxes with a click. For cleaning, the lids for the reusable containers can be easily removed, with a tab on the edge allowing for effortless opening.
In which colors are the lids available?
Our sustainable reusable lids for bowls, cups, plates, and menu boxes are available in transparent or gray. The lid of our burger box made of Bio-Compound is available in the respective colors of the box.
Can the lids for the reusable containers be ordered separately?
