Sugarcane cutlery is the fastest growing segment of the cutlery market, as consumers are choosing sustainable products over the paper and plastic ones. The trend of making environment-friendly products is gaining momentum due to the government support and initiatives from regulatory authorities worldwide.
The sugarcane plant is a tall, tropical perennial grass in the genus Saccharum, commonly used to produce sugar and other sweet foods. It likes plenty of sunlight and water. It is one of the most efficient photosynthesizers in the plant kingdom, converting up to 1% of incident solar energy into biomass.
Bagasse tableware is made from the stalks of sugarcane, a byproduct that would traditionally be considered waste after harvest. It is pulverized and heat pressed into products using a high-heat, high-pressure process to create durable and stylish tableware for your restaurant or food service business.
This product can handle hot, cold or oily dishes with ease and features a firm and smooth surface. It’s also suitable for cutting roasted or grilled foods, and is microwave safe.
