Bagasse is a by-product of sugar production. Bagasse is the fiber that remains after extraction of juice from sugarcane. The remaining fiber is pressed into forms in a high-heat, high-pressure process using considerably less energy compared with pulping wood for paper products.

Since it is a waste by-product, it does not require additional cultivation lands and has no impact on the area of forests. Bagasse products are biodegradable in commercial compost facilities for up to 90 days. These 100% compostable bowls will degrade back to organic compost material and can then be used for fertilizer.

Plates made from Bagasse are thicker and more rigid than traditional paper plates. They have ideal thermal properties for hot, wet or oily foods. You can even microwave them for 2-3 minutes.
