What Is Bagasse?

Bagasse is the fibrous material remaining after juice has been extracted from sugarcane. Instead of treating these fibres solely as agricultural waste, they can be moulded into strong foodservice packaging such as plates, bowls, trays and takeaway containers.

The result is a rigid, lightweight plate made from annually renewable plant fibre. Its natural appearance is particularly suitable for food businesses and events seeking to reduce their use of conventional disposable plastic tableware.

Ideal for Snacks, Starters and Smaller Portions

The 7-inch diameter is best suited to smaller servings rather than large main meals. Typical applications include:

• Cake slices and pastries
• Desserts and fruit portions
• Sandwiches and finger food
• Canapés and appetisers
• Starters and side dishes
• Cheese and tasting portions
• Party snacks
• Small street-food servings
• Children’s meal portions
• Buffet and sampling portions

Suitable for Hot and Cold Food

The moulded bagasse construction makes these plates suitable for many hot and cold foods. They can be used for desserts and chilled snacks as well as warm appetisers, pastries, side dishes and smaller cooked portions.

They also provide useful resistance to grease and moisture during normal foodservice use. However, they are plates rather than sealed food containers and should not be used for soups, drinks or large quantities of free-flowing liquid.

Choosing the Right Disposable Plate

• Bagasse Plates 9 Inch – Pack of 500 – suitable for larger portions and buffet meals
• Bagasse Dinner Plates 10 Inch – Pack of 500 – designed for full meals and substantial portions
• Bagasse Three-Compartment Plates 10 Inch – Pack of 500 – helps keep main dishes and side portions separated

Composting and Responsible Disposal

These plates are made from compostable bagasse fibre. Actual composting options depend on the food residue present, local collection arrangements and whether suitable home or commercial composting facilities are available.

Check the guidance provided by your local authority or commercial waste contractor. Compostable packaging should not automatically be placed in conventional paper recycling unless the relevant collection service confirms that it is accepted.

Storage and Handling

Store unused plates in their original packaging in a clean and dry location. Keep them away from moisture, direct heat, strong odours and prolonged exposure to sunlight.

Although moulded bagasse is more rigid than many lightweight paper plates, use suitable support when carrying unusually heavy portions or foods containing significant quantities of liquid.
