Nature-based BagasseWare® is a superior choice in sustainable food containers that are suitable for both hot and cold foods. These fully compostable, sturdy hinged clamshells are made from bagasse — the fibers that remain after the juice has been extracted from sugarcane. Instead of polluting the air by burning these sugarcane byproducts, the fiber is recovered, processed into a pulp, then heated, shaped and sterilized. BagasseWare® uses up to 30% less fossil fuel for production than paper products and up to 70% less than polystyrene.
