Throughout the catering and hotel industry, we have seen trends that make our operations more environmentally friendly. Driven by consumer demand, companies are now looking for alternative food packaging products. One of the latest emerging trends is bagasse material, which is a very valuable renewable resource that is widely used in the production of disposable cups, plates, bowls and takeaway containers.
Bagasse, also known as sugarcane pulp, is a by-product of the sugarcane industry. Bagasse is the scum from the squeezing process of sugarcane sugar. It has a rough texture and accounts for about 24% to 27% of sugarcane (with water content of about 50%). For every ton of cane sugar produced, 2 to 3 tons are produced. Bagasse. Approximate analysis of wet bagasse shows that bagasse is rich in cellulose, but less lignin, so bagasse has great advantages as a fiber raw material. It is thick, pulpy and fibrous, and can be easily broken down and foamed into containers of any shape or size. Now, bagasse is used to make environmentally friendly food service products, replacing traditional paper, plastic and styrofoam products. By adopting bagasse products, companies can indirectly help reduce pollution and energy consumption. Bagasse is now widely used in the catering industry to replace disposable products made from pulp, fiber, petrochemical products and plastics. Throughout the industry, you will often find bagasse takeaway containers, bagasse trays, bagasse cups and other eco friendly products.
Bagasse has several properties that make it ideal for food packaging.
They are heat resistant and can also be used to store cold food. They are microwave safe and can be used to reheat food. They are freezer safe, so they can be used to store food. Due to their fibrous texture, they are more durable and stronger than polystyrene containers. Compared to paper and plastic utensils, they hold the heat longer for longer. They are an eco-friendly alternative to plastic tableware because they are fully compostable. Bagasse tableware is water and grease resistant and is therefore increasingly used by wholesale suppliers.
Due to the eco-friendly properties of bagasse food containers, usage has surged in the restaurant and hospitality industry. Their robustness and superior thermal properties also make them preferred by consumers over other disposable food containers and utensils. We strongly encourage our customers to use eco-friendly disposable tableware, which not only protects the environment, but also leaves an eco-friendly impression on your consumers.
