Bagasse or bagasse pulp is a sugarcane byproduct that is left behind after the sugarcane’s juices are extracted. Instead of being discarded, the fiber can be used for other purposes, like creating earth-friendly packaging, among others.
Benefits of Bagasse:
For F&B brands and MSMEs, there are many benefits to using bagasse-based packaging. Aside from being compostable and biodegradable, bagasse is a renewable resource. Since sugarcane can regrow completely in 8 to 10 months, it’s considered rapidly renewable.
For environmentally conscious businesses and consumers, bagasse is a solid alternative to plastics and plastic-lined, paper-based food containers. It’s renewable, compostable, sturdy, and better for the environment.
