Summer in the U.S. has always been about good food, sunshine, and sharing meals outdoors—from Fourth of July picnics to neighborhood cookouts. But in 2025, there’s a new ingredient on the table: sustainability. Across parks, rooftops, and festival grounds, a shift is happening in how Americans serve and store food.

The change is most noticeable in one small but powerful detail: the packaging.

Instead of plastic or foam, people are reaching for paper bowls with lids. These sturdy, compostable containers are everywhere—holding pasta salad at family gatherings, poke bowls at farmers markets, and leftovers from community events. They make cleanup easy, reduce waste, and feel aligned with today’s climate-aware culture.

At the same time, Kraft Paper Bowls are becoming the go-to choice for event planners and food vendors. With their earthy tones and natural textures, they communicate care and quality, all while serving hot or cold meals with minimal environmental impact.

This shift isn’t just practical—it’s cultural. Consumers now associate paper-based packaging with health, responsibility, and modern values. It shows up in social media posts, product reviews, and dinner conversations.

What used to be a “green alternative” is quickly becoming the norm.

Whether you're hosting a backyard BBQ or prepping for a large outdoor event, compostable bowls with secure lids are no longer a niche solution—they're a smart standard.
