Why aluminum

Aluminum is used to produce a range of food packaging products, including our trays and foils. Choosing the right product depends on dimensions, type of use, and its instructions. Alongside the material’s properties, aluminum can also be recycled repeatedly while retaining the metal’s properties.

Properties that matter when choosing a product

Weight

Aluminum is a light metal. Low weight makes transport and work in the kitchen and warehouse easier.

Heat conduction

The material responds quickly to temperature changes, so aluminum trays are common for baking, heating, and freezing, according to each product’s instructions.

Design and packaging

Aluminum can be formed in a variety of shapes and sizes, and pairs with lids and complementary packaging.

Suitability for use

Instructions for oven, freezing, microwave, lids, and food types appear on each product’s page, based on its information. When no explicit instruction is given, contact us before use.

Material recyclability

Aluminum can be recycled repeatedly while maintaining its properties, with some material losses during melting and processing. Therefore, there is a difference between a material being recyclable, the recycled content in a product, and the share of waste actually recycled.

Our recycling

In the tray production process, aluminum offcuts remain. At Dogans, these offcuts are collected for recycling as part of the plant’s operations.

FAQ

How do I choose a tray?

By external dimensions, height, and intended use. Each tray’s page shows the stated dimensions, and in many cases a matching lid.

Does every tray have a lid?

Some models have a matching lid in the catalog. When compatibility is known, it appears on the product page.

Where are the usage instructions?

On each product’s page, per the information provided for it. Do not infer instructions from one product to another.
