Why use Bagasse plates/clamshell instead of paper?
When juices are extracted from the sugar cane stalk, the leftover fiber is normally considered as a waste product and usually is incinerated. Instead of wasting the sugar cane fiber pulp, it is instead used to make compostable products. Bagasse is a byproduct of sugar extraction and is a renewable resource. Most paper products are made from virgin wood. By using paper products made from virgin wood, it can deplete our natural forests.
