The present invention relates to a food container with a reduced amount of elution of hazardous substances. As the food container according to the present invention has a structure in which a foamed layer and a PETG resin layer are laminated, compressive strength is improved and moldability is excellent, so that the food container may be provided in various sizes and shapes. Moreover, the present invention has a harmless effect to a human body due to a remarkably low amount of elution of hazardous substances.

A ventilated molded seat trim cover for a vehicle seat and a ventilated vehicle seat having a ventilated molded seat trim cover, comprising a stacked assembly of an upper textile layer, a first adhesive layer, an air permeable polyurethane cellular foam interlayer thermo-moldable at temperatures between about 104° C. and about 127° C., a second adhesive layer, a thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) film, a third adhesive layer, and a scrim backing layer. The stacked assembly is compression molded in a 3-dimensional mold while at least a portion of the foam interlayer is heated to a temperature between about 104° C. and about 127° C. to form the ventilated molded seat trim cover. The TPU film prevents airflow passing through a bottom surface of the seat trim cover. Airflow in the foam interlayer can pass through the upper textile layer.
