Why Bagasse Beats Plastic for Food Packaging

Sugarcane fibre is renewable, industrially compostable and performs under heat and moisture. Here is how it compares to conventional plastic and foam.

Sugarcane bagasse is the fibrous residue left after extracting juice from sugarcane. Instead of burning or discarding this material, it is transformed into sturdy, heat-resistant food packaging.

A renewable by-product turned into packaging

Bagasse is a rapidly renewable agricultural by-product. Unlike plastic derived from petroleum, bagasse packaging draws on a fibre stream that would otherwise be burned or discarded.

Performance you can build a menu around

Bagasse plates, clamshells and bowls handle hot food up to 100°C without softening or leaking. They are microwave- and freezer-safe, making them suitable for a wide range of foodservice applications.

Clean manufacturing, no petroleum binders

The manufacturing process uses heat and pressure to mould the fibres into shape, with no petroleum-based binders required. The result is a rigid, food-safe container that performs reliably from kitchen to table.

Frequently asked questions

Is bagasse microwave-safe?
