Sugarcane - Using a "Used" Resource

We offer a 100 percent compostable alternative to conventional tree-based paper products. Known as Bagasse, these paper items are made from sugarcane fiber after the sugar ‘juice’ has been extracted. This renewable resource is grown and harvested every year and a half. Typically, sugarcane fiber is a discarded by-product from cane sugar manufacturing, but we use the material, creating an end-user product and completing the circle.

Advantages of Sugarcane:

Completely compostable, but without using any trees for production (It takes three tons of our world’s precious trees to make one ton of paper, and a tree can take up to 30 years to mature)
Converting sugarcane to paper requires less energy resources compared to using tree fiber
Consumers can still use disposable ‘paper’ products, but with less impact on natural resources
Disposed of in a commercial composting facility, sugarcane items will compost in as little as 45 days
Takes advantage of industry by-product that is normally burned or discarded Biodegradable Products Institute (BPI) Certied
