Bagasse Crockery and Containers

Bagasse is the pulpy residue that is left over after juice is extracted from sugarcane. It is composed primarily of Cellulose and Hemicellulose along with Lignin and small quantities of ash and waxes.

Uses

• They are thermal resistant and can hold hot food up to 95 degree Celsius.
• They are microwave safe and can be used to reheat food.
• They are more durable and firmer than polystyrene containers due to the fibrous texture.
• They are refrigerator safe and therefore can be used to store food until consumption.
• They have insulation properties that retain heat for a longer time compared to paper and plastic containers
• They are eco-friendly alternatives to plastic containers because they are completely compostable. The rate of decomposition can vary depending on the temperature, turnover rate, and moisture. Faster decomposition can be achieved if the bagasse container is broken into smaller pieces.
• They can also be used to store cold food products.
• Bagasse containers are water and grease resistant and therefore are increasingly used by wholesale soft drinks suppliers.
