BIOPAP\u00ae ATLAS SI 25 hot meal casserole has been specifically designed to best perform in airline catering offering high stiffness, natural touch and feel and superior food passenger experience while also allowing a smooth waste management. Turning waste into valuable resources is now possible through composting both food rests and BIOPAP\u00ae casseroles.<\/p>\n<p>BIOPAP\u00ae ATLAS hot meal casserole has been engineered to replace the traditional enameled aluminum casserole featuring a curled edge design to be operated directly on fast automated filling and crimping lines or on manual outer stations. The scale up is easy and with little or no set-up. The curled\u00a0 edge design performed with proprietary technology allow high stiffness throughout preparation, reheating and service, with a reduced raw material consumption.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 100%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-15259 gallery-columns-1 gallery-size-large'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.biopap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Senza-nome.jpg' title=\"\" data-rl_title=\"\" class=\"rl-gallery-link\" data-rl_caption=\"\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-1\"><img width=\"810\" height=\"515\" src=\"https:\/\/www.biopap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Senza-nome-1024x651.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.biopap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Senza-nome-1024x651.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.biopap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Senza-nome-300x191.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.biopap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Senza-nome-768x489.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.biopap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Senza-nome-1536x977.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.biopap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Senza-nome.jpg 1984w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 810px) 100vw, 810px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>BIOPAP\u00ae ATLAS SI 25 casserole has extreme temperature resistance from \u2013 80\u00b0C of Nitrogen tunnels to ventilated ovens up to 185\u00b0C to 215\u00b0C, it is also Burn Test approved.
