Frequently Asked Questions

Is bagasse environmentally friendly?

Bagasse packaging is an eco-friendly alternative made from the fibrous by-product of sugarcane after juice extraction. It offers several benefits: it's biodegradable, compostable, and made from renewable resources, making it a sustainable choice for food service. Bagasse containers are also microwave and freezer safe, with excellent heat resistance and durability. They’re a great
option for both hot and cold foods, combining practicality with environmental responsibility.

Are paper plates OK for hot food?

Yes, our paper plates are safe for hot foods. They are designed to withstand heat and are perfect for serving hot meals without losing their structure or becoming soggy. Whether you're serving hot entrees, snacks, or even greasy foods, our paper plates provide a reliable and sturdy option for your foodservice needs. They're made with quality materials to ensure they perform well, even with hot items.

 Is bagasse renewable?

Yes, bagasse is a renewable resource. It is the fibrous material left over after sugarcane juice is extracted during the production of sugar. As a by-product of the sugar industry, bagasse is abundant and can be repurposed for making eco-friendly packaging products. Unlike plastic, which is derived from fossil fuels, bagasse packaging is biodegradable and compostable, making it an environmentally sustainable alternative for food packaging. It also helps reduce waste by utilising what would otherwise be discarded, contributing to a circular economy.

Can paper plates go in the microwave?

Most paper plates can be used in the microwave, but it’s important to check if the plate is microwave-safe. Generally, plain, uncoated paper plates (such as ours) are safe to use in the microwave for short periods. However, if the plate has a plastic or wax coating, it may not be suitable for microwave use, as these coatings can melt or release harmful chemicals when heated.
