Recyclable Insulated Stackable Tray For Cold Wet Materials
A stackable container includes a solid compostable or recyclable body formed primarily of a plant fiber. The body includes a floor and a plurality of side walls that are coupled to the floor along first common edges. Each side wall is coupled to two adjacent side walls along second common edges to surround an interior space of the container. A top surface of the side walls provides a rim that includes a recess or projection configured to couple the container to a corresponding projection or recess of an overlying container. A bottom surface of the floor includes a recess or projection that is configured to be coupled with a projection or recess of an underlying container.

- 1. A stackable container to store wet material, the container comprising:
a solid compostable or recyclable body formed primarily of a plant fiber, the body including a floor, and a plurality of side walls that are coupled to the floor along first common edges and each coupled to two adjacent inner side walls along second common edges to surround an interior space of the container, wherein a top surface of the side walls provides a rim that includes a recess or projection configured to couple the container to a corresponding projection or recess of an overlying container, wherein the floor is seamlessly and continuously coupled along each of the first common edges to each of the plurality of side walls, wherein each of the plurality of side walls is seamlessly and continuously coupled along the second common edges to adjacent side walls, and wherein a bottom surface of the floor includes a recess or projection that is configured to be coupled with a projection or recess of an underlying container.
- 8. A container to store wet material, the container comprising:
a solid compostable or recyclable body formed primarily of a plant fiber, the
body including
a floor,
a plurality of inner side walls that are coupled to the floor along first common edges and each coupled to two adjacent inner side walls along second common edges,
a rim coupled to the plurality of inner side walls along third common edges and that includes a projection or recess configured to couple the container to a recess or projection of an overlying container, and
a plurality of outer side walls that are coupled to the rim along fourth common edges and each coupled to two adjacent outer side walls along fifth common edges,
wherein the floor and the plurality of inner side walls define an interior space of the body to receive the item and an opening to the interior space,
wherein the plurality of inner side walls and plurality of outer side walls have a space there between that defines a first gap,
wherein the floor is seamlessly and continuously coupled along each of the first common edges to each of the plurality of inner side walls, wherein each of the plurality of inner side walls is seamlessly and continuously coupled along the second common edges to adjacent inner side walls, wherein each of the plurality of inner side walls is seamlessly and continuously coupled along each of the third common edges to the rim, wherein the rim is seamlessly and continuously coupled along each of the fourth common edges to each of the plurality of outer side walls, and wherein each of the plurality of outer side walls is seamlessly and continuously coupled along the fifth common edges to adjacent outer side walls; and
a bottom cover attached to bottom edges of the outer walls of the body and extending below the floor of the body, wherein the floor, the plurality of inner side walls, the rim, the plurality of outer side walls and the bottom cover define a cavity that includes the first gap, and wherein the floor includes a recess or projection that is configured to be coupled with a projection or recess of an underlying container.
