Everything about sugarcane (bagasse) disposables
Bagasse, also known as sugarcane pulp, is the waste of sugarcane plants that remains after the extraction of sugar from the plants. Instead of discarding or burning the sugarcane stalks, a paper-like substance is made from the pulp. Since bagasse is a byproduct of sugarcane production, no additional land or energy is required to cultivate it, and it also does not contribute to deforestation. Bagasse can be molded into various forms and products that are perfect for food packaging.
Why are sugarcane disposables sustainable?
Bagasse is derived from the Spanish word for "waste." The sugarcane waste was previously often burned, causing pollution. Converting waste into disposables is naturally much more environmentally friendly. Another significant environmental advantage is that the production of sugarcane disposables is much more energy-efficient than producing plastic products. By using bagasse products, you help reduce pollution and energy consumption.
What are the advantages of sugarcane disposables?
Bagasse has multiple benefits, not only for the environment but also for you and your business. Firstly, it is readily available as sugarcane grows incredibly fast. Harvesting can often be done every six months. Additionally, sugarcane plantations are not specifically established for these purposes since the disposables are made from the waste product.
Bagasse is a good material for disposable products. The disposables are fully biodegradable, plastic-free, and made from renewable resources. Bagasse products are both refrigerator and microwave safe and can be used for hot and cold dishes. Curious about our offerings? Check them out below!
