Forget restaurants for a moment. Whether you’re in Fitzroy or Fremantle, Newtown or New Farm, Ponsonby or Parap, you won’t have to go far to find incredible dishes being served from food trucks and stalls.

In this part of the world, the trend for street food is hitting its peak, thanks to its convenience and the rich variety of what’s on offer, with an estimated 5,000-plus food trucks now doing trade in Australia alone.

Add in the dozens of festivals dedicated to the culinary arts held each year across

Australia and New Zealand, as well as the numerous night and day markets sprinkled around the towns and cities of the two nations, and the demand is clear.

Even this collective offering is only the tip of the iceberg: it’s common now to see popup food stalls and vans everywhere from music and arts festivals to sporting events and even outside corporate offices at lunchtimes. Distinguished food guides have begun directing readers to the best in street eats, while there’s a number of apps now available designed to connect customers with food trucks.

If you’re in the business already, you’ll know this trend shows no sign of abating. ➜

Take foodie wonderlands like Brisbane’s Eat Street Northshore or Grazeland in Melbourne, where dishes are served from shipping containers and DIY-style bars, and you’ll be aware that what was once squarely a pop-up scene has now become a permanent fixture.

The popularity of the trend then is well established – but with that popularity has come questions over the sustainability of how the food is served. After all, offering dishes in unrecyclable containers seems at odds with targets set by the Federal Government to drastically reduce single-use waste by 2025.

Sustain’s Paperboard range answers these questions. Constructed from material that comes from well-managed, Forest Stewardship Council (FSC®-C117930) certified forests and other controlled sources, the range includes food boxes and trays suitable for hot and cold dishes.

While both lightweight and sturdy when used, Sustain’s Paperboard products are recyclable in standard kerbside collections and compostable in industrial facilities.

So as the trend for street eats continues to grow, and the call for environmental solutions understandably grows with it, Sustain is making sure this urban scene maintains a sustainable edge. bunzl.com.au/sustain
