GN polycarbonate containers
The polycarbonate GN container is dishwasher and microwave safe. For the standard polycarbonate GN 1/1, GN 1/2 and GN 1/3 containers, we also offer a polycarbonate draining rack as an accessory.
Transparent Gastronorm containers
Polycarbonate is a tough, clear plastic that gives your GN container the transparent appearance of glass combined with the toughness of a composite material. The Polycarbonate Gastronorm container is transparent like the Tritan GN container.
Polycarbonate is impact resistant and can withstand temperatures from -100°C to +130°C. You can therefore use it for storage or in an oven (low temperature) and for display in a cool room. It's ideal for all professions that don't use GN containers for baking. You'll also find all the lids and grids in the same material, with the same technical characteristics.
Graduated transparent gastronorm containers
Buffet-Plus offers a wide range of polycarbonate GN containers in 4 depths from 65 to 200 mm, so from 600 ml to 26 L, you're sure to find what you need. All the containers have direct reading graduations in L, for better control of your stock and greater accuracy in daily use. If you need a lid, Buffet-plus offers impact-resistant polycarbonate lids for all GN sizes.
Are polycarbonate containers certified BPA-free and food-safety compliant?
Polycarbonate containers have long been popular because of their durability and impact resistance. However, polycarbonate can contain bisphenol A (BPA), a chemical compound that is controversial due to its potential health effects.
Food Safety Certifications and Standards: Historically, polycarbonate has been manufactured using BPA. Numerous studies have shown that BPA can leach into food, especially when containers are exposed to high temperatures, leading to food safety concerns. To address these concerns, some manufacturers have developed versions of polycarbonate containers that are certified BPA-free, often marked 'BPA free'. Polycarbonate containers intended for food use must comply with food safety standards set by authorities such as the FDA (Food Drug and Administration) in the USA, EFSA (European Food Safety Authority) in Europe and other national or international authorities. These standards cover various aspects including the materials used, tests for migration of chemical substances into food and the suitability of materials for prolonged contact with food.
The polycarbonate trays offered by Buffet-Plus are made from high quality, non-recycled raw materials and have passed the tests of EFSA, the European Food Safety Authority, as the migration of BPA is less than 60 times the legal limit. However, France has banned the use of polycarbonate in food contact products.
At Buffet Plus you will find a range of GN containers in various materials: stainless steel, polycarbonate, polypropylene or melamine in black or white, always with a choice of height (depth), which also allows you to choose according to the desired volume.
