What is bagasse packaging and why is it eco friendly?
Bagasse packaging is made from the leftover fibres of sugarcane after juice extraction. It’s a renewable, compostable material that breaks down naturally in commercial composting facilities, making it an excellent alternative to plastic and polystyrene. Read our bagasse guide to learn more.
Can I compost bagasse packaging at home?
Bagasse is industrially compostable, meaning it breaks down more efficiently in commercial composting conditions. However, under the right conditions, some bagasse items may also break down in a home composting setup over time.
Is bagasse packaging suitable for hot or greasy foods?
Yes, bagasse food containers are designed to handle hot, greasy, or saucy foods. They're heat-resistant, leak-resistant, and microwave-safe, making them ideal for a wide range of takeaway and catering uses.
