BAGASSE ( PULP )
Bagasse, otherwise known as sugarcane pulp, is a by-product of the sugarcane industry. It’s the fibre that remains after the sugarcane stalks are crushed to extract their juice .
The fibre is then kept wet and subjected to both high heat and extreme pressure, in order to form the required article. The only additive is a non toxic ‘ bleaching compound’ which transforms the article into a more acceptable clean white finish.
Bagasse is considered to be the most economical packaging solution on the market today and the most sustainable alternative to plastic !
