What Are the Benefits of Bagasse Food Packaging Products?

PLANT MADE

 

 

Bagasse is natural, safe and extremely renewable and is made from plant fibre waste left over from the processing of sugar cane, sorghum or agave. This makes it one of the most environmentally friendly materials on Earth.

 

What Is Bagasse?

 

Bagasse is the nickname for the fiber left over from sugar cane after it is turned into sugar. Since cane growers produce nearly 80 per cent of the world's sugar, a large amount of usable bagasse is produced.

 

Bagasse is considered a waste product and does not require additional resources to produce it. In addition, sugar cane is so abundant that it is considered a renewable resource because it can be regrown in as little as 10 months. This ability to regenerate quickly makes sugar cane and bagasse a more environmentally friendly alternative to paper and wood.

 

As we mentioned earlier, bagasse is the fiber left after the juice of sugar cane is extracted. The fibers are then molded into multifunctional meat trays, agricultural trays and other food packaging products through a high-pressure, high-temperature process.

 

Converting bagasse into food packaging products actually uses less energy than pulping wood for paper products. The result is extremely durable and versatile food packaging products. At Servous, our most popular bagasse products are:

 

Bagasse Chicken Roaster containers

Bagasse Plates

Is Bagasse Eco-Friendly?

 

Bagasse products are among the most eco-friendly solutions on the market. Our products made from Bagasse are:

100% Biodegradable

100% Compostable within 90 days.

100% Recyclable

Toxin and Chemical Free

100% Natural and Carbon Neutral

 

Because it is a waste by-product of the sugarcane manufacturing process, it does not require extra land to grow and does not increase deforestation.

 

At the same time, the production of bagasse is much more efficient than the production of products from wood. To put that into context, it takes only 1.5 tons of cane pulp to produce 1 ton of bagasse paper, and a lot of 5 tons of wood to produce 1 ton of paper.
