Bagasse plates are a stylish, eco-friendly alternative to polystyrene. They work with hot and cold food as well as wet and oily dishes with ease. Manufactured from sugarcane, they are more rigid as a result and naturally compostable to make them more 'green' than most equivalent products. They are also microwave and freezer safe, making them a great all round product.
An ideal choice for food on the go. A popular choice for outdoor events including food festivals, food markets, street food and mobile and outside catering.

Core Identity & Sourcing
· Sustainable Byproduct: Bagasse is the fibrous residue remaining after sugarcane stalks are crushed for juice. It is an agricultural waste product that would otherwise be burned or discarded.
· Rapidly Renewable: Sugarcane is a fast-growing crop harvested annually (sometimes in just six months), making it much more renewable than wood-based paper, which takes decades to grow.
· Tree-Free: Using bagasse directly helps prevent deforestation by reducing the need for wood pulp.
Key Performance Features
· Temperature Versatility: Bagasse is suitable for both hot and cold items. Most products are microwave-safe and freezer-friendly.
· Oil & Grease Resistance: Unlike traditional paper, bagasse is naturally greaseproof and water-resistant without the need for plastic or wax linings.
· Structural Strength: It is more rigid and robust than Styrofoam or thin paper, resisting bends and leaks even with heavy, saucy, or oily dishes.
Environmental Impact
· 100% Compostable: Bagasse typically breaks down in 60–90 days in industrial composting facilities. Many modern bagasse products are also certified home compostable, decomposing within 90–180 days in garden setups.
· PFAS-Free Options: 2025 standards prioritize products with no intentionally added PFAS ("forever chemicals"), ensuring they are safe for both human health and the soil after composting.
· Lower Carbon Footprint: Manufacturing bagasse emits up to 65–80% less CO₂ than traditional plastic packaging.
Common Use Cases
· Foodservice: Plates, bowls, takeaway clamshells, and compartment trays for schools or catering.
