A practical look at plant-fibre packaging for takeaway meals.

What is bagasse?

Bagasse is the fibrous material left after sugarcane is processed. It can be formed into plates, bowls and takeaway containers, giving agricultural material another useful purpose.

Match the container to the meal

Consider portion size, the number of compartments and whether you need a matching lid. Trial the container with your actual menu, including warm meals, sauces and delivery times, before placing a bulk order.

Plan for disposal

Ask about the exact product specifications and the local collection options available to your business. Compostable packaging needs suitable conditions; it should never be littered or treated as harmless in the ocean.
