Bagasse square plates - A green alternative to disposable dinnerware

Using bagasse square plates is an eco-friendly way to go about serving your guests. The materials used are recycled and 100% compostable. This green alternative to disposable dinnerware is ideal for quick-serve restaurants, hotels, or caterers. The material is also insulating, which means it won't make your food soggy or break easily.

As its name implies, bagasse is a byproduct of the sugar industry, and its production uses less energy than conventional wood pulping. Its low carbon footprint doesn't require additional cultivation lands. And, since it's made from natural fibres, you're doing your part to keep those pesky weeds at bay. The fact that it's recyclable makes it a great alternative to paper and polystyrene.

The best part about bagasse is that it is a good choice for commercial composting. The materials used are biodegradable for up to 90 days in commercial compost facilities. This makes the bagasse square plate the greenest dining option around. Its other benefits include being strong enough to hold heavier items than a typical paper or plastic plate, and the plate is cut resistant, so it won't break under a moderate amount of pressure. Similarly, the material is tree-free and can be used as fertilizer.

Another cool thing about bagasse is that it has the same properties as foam, but without the same disadvantages. Unlike foam, it won't trap condensation, meaning you can get rid of your soggy dinner in the time it takes to wash a paper plate. The material is also thicker than a paper plate, meaning it can handle more food and saves space. Its most impressive attribute, though, is that it has a small carbon footprint, and doesn't produce a lot of waste. Its other best attributes include its durability, and the fact that it isn't a paper product, making it a great choice for the restaurant industry.
