The Story
From by-product to better bowl
Bagasse is the dry, fibrous pulp left after sugarcane stalks are crushed for juice. Millions of tonnes are produced every year, much of it simply burned.
Pulped and moulded under heat and pressure, that fibre becomes rigid tableware that handles hot, wet and oily food without bending or leaking, then composts back into the soil.
