Why Bagasse? The Sustainable Material Behind the Plate
Bagasse is the fibrous residue left after extracting juice from sugarcane. Instead of burning or discarding it, manufacturers like us turn it into sturdy, compostable food packaging.
Using bagasse for meal trays reduces reliance on plastic, polystyrene, or non-recyclable paper options. That’s why our full range of bagasse plates is gaining popularity across UK caterers and eco-conscious brands.
♻️ Biodegradable within 90 days under commercial composting conditions, bagasse is a smart, circular material choice for UK food packaging.
