This disposable tableware is made from sugar bagasse – the fibres left behind when sugar syrup is extracted from sugar cane. Instead of polluting the air by burning the sugar cane by-product, the fibres go through a process of heating, pulping and then pressurised moulding. Because sugar cane re-grows easily, it’s a great renewable resource and helps us conserve resources. Bagasse also has a lower carbon footprint than conventional materials, thanks to the carbon-absorbing sugar cane. After use, the plate can be collected with your food waste and taken for composting.
