Bagasse packaging
Our environmentally friendly bagasse tableware
The disposable tableware that we carry under our Wisefood brand has to for us all in all, meet the criteria of high environmental friendliness. Even if it is usually only used once under the premise of being disposable, we want it to be labeled "Sustainably environmentally friendly". To go items and sensible outer packaging are essential accessories for catering companies as well as party and event organizers. With our product line, we show that such packaging does not necessarily have to become a waste problem. We offer you organic disposable tableware as a plastic-free solution.
Bagasse as a sustainable alternative to styrofoam
The foamed box made of styrofoam is particularly impressive as a menu box with its insulating properties. Warm meals are kept at the right temperature for a longer period of time. The lightweight material is ideal for transporting takeaway meals. Our much more environmentally friendly variant made of bagasse material impresses as organic disposable tableware with a clear advantage: it is also suitable for microwaves and is heat-resistant up to 120 degrees Celsius in the oven. A bagasse menu box allows you to quickly and easily heat up the contents directly in the packaging. Because bagasse is a waste product made from sugar cane residue, bagasse products are biodegradable and even compostable. Because of its natural fiber components, the material is also very stable. As a by-product of sugar cane production that is present anyway, the use of pressed sugar cane fibers in the production of bagasse tableware does not waste any unnecessary resources. When using our bagasse disposable tableware, multiple uses are guaranteed via the criterion of upcycling. This means that the convenience of delivery service and to-go offers can easily be reconciled with increased environmental awareness, beyond a guilty conscience and plastic components used.
Wisefood crockery made of cane sugar inspires with positive properties
If you look at the eco-balance, then bagasse products show their best side overall. Thanks to its good formability, environmentally friendly bagasse tableware is available in many variations and different packaging sizes. From soup plates and party plates to small bowls, our extensive range contains the basis for serving a number of delicious dishes. Dinner plates made of bagasse material are comparable to paper plates in terms of stability and grip. They have the same cut resistance as conventional disposable plastic tableware. Bagasse crockery is ideal for directly heating up dishes and also impresses with its resistance to cold. The biodegradable crockery material not only scores with its practical advantages. It also stays in the green visually and presents all hot and cold dishes hygienically and in an appetizing, inviting way at events.

Whether disposable plates or cardboard bowls - bagasse products protect the environment
The desire for sweets gives us a huge amount of a waste product from the sugar industry. Around 30 percent is used in this sector for the company's own energy requirements for the processing of the finished sugar.The remaining 70 percent can be used for another purpose. Among other things, the material properties are convincing when it comes to the production of high-quality and sufficiently robust disposable tableware. In the recycling cycle, there is a de facto positive ecological balance. No additional agricultural cultivation areas are necessary, because the fibrous sugar cane residues accumulate in immense quantities anyway. After the short-lived use as Wisefood menu boxes, bagasse bowls or bagasse plates, bagasse disposal becomes an environmentally friendly matter thanks to the biological material. During the decomposition process to compost, valuable minerals that are added to the soil are even released.
Serve food in an environmentally friendly way with Wisefood bagasse tableware
Mountains of rubbish and disposable items have been polluting our environment in an unacceptable way for a long time. We have gradually transformed ourselves into a carefree throwaway society and built a plastic world, the devastating consequences of which we are already feeling strongly. It's time to go innovative and better ways. Eating and drinking are not only among our essential needs. Delicious dishes and dishes give us joie de vivre and a sense of well-being. Dining in good company or celebrating exuberantly at a party is fun. But we also need a planet with an intact ecosystem. Tableware made from leftover sugar cane takes this ecological aspect into account. Up to 50 pieces of sugar cane crockery can be produced from a single piece of sugar cane with a diameter of between 2.0 and 4.5 cm and a length of up to 6 m. In addition to a sustainable production process, disposal does not produce any harmful waste afterwards because of the natural ingredients.
Sugar cane tableware is produced in an ecologically valuable process
Food to go is in disposable tableware made of sugar cane fibers In good hands. Because the creation is based on recycled residues, the CO2 saving compared to conventional tableware made of polystyrene is well over 90 percent. Protein acid is used in the formation process to break down the existing chemical compound. This acid hydrolysis is used to obtain the cellulose from sugar cane bagasse. The 100% biodegradability ensures a valuable contribution against environmental pollution. Disposable tableware made from sugar cane is an elegant solution as an ecologically justifiable variant. The elimination of the cultivation that was initially necessary for the production of material is particularly noticeable in the life cycle assessment. Because the bagasse production results in connection with the cane sugar production anyway. Existing, permanently renewable resources are used sensibly as organic disposable tableware for to-go meals, for food deliveries and private celebrations that go beyond the small framework.
Goodbye to single-use plastic tableware - welcome sugar cane plates and co.
With the new EU guidelines, essential legal requirements were finally passed in the summer of 2021 as effective measures against the further increase in plastic waste. Our oceans are now sinking in plastic waste. The disastrous consequences for the environment and the health risks emanating from microplastics have long been revealed in worrying and enormous proportions. We in the Wisefood team have made it our task to deal intensively with the environmental compatibility of our products in order to bring better alternatives onto the market: for gastronomy businesses, entrepreneurs from the hotel, catering and food industry as well as for event managers and for the private consumption sector.By consciously using organic disposable tableware, you can work with us to contribute to effective environmental protection. Especially when there is a high demand for orders of sustainable disposable tableware, the environmental idea is all the more important.

Organic disposable tableware made from bagasse is easy to dispose of
The disposable tableware is made of natural cellulose. Disposal in the bio-waste bin is therefore not only possible without any problems, but desirable. However, the decomposition of this natural organic raw material can take a long time in the normal way, which can take well over 12 months.Putting it on the compost heap is therefore theoretically feasible, but not necessarily recommended in practice. Industrial composting plants have the right prerequisites to accelerate the decay process. This then releases nutrients that enrich the compost. If you throw your sugar cane plate or your finger food outer packaging in the residual waste, the ecologically valuable tableware components will simply be burned. For the sake of the environment, please remember to recycle the organic disposable tableware in the most sensible way!

A few clarifying FAQs:
The word has its origin in French. As late as the 18th century, it was still used to generally describe the residues that result from the pressing of various fruits: such as grapes for wine production or olives from which olive oil is pressed. Today, the meaning of the word is limited to the fiber residues that remain after the moist components of sugar cane and sugar beet have been pressed out.
What material is bagasse made of?
In which other areas is bagasse used?
In addition to being used to produce packaging for the food industry and gastronomy, the fibrous residue from sugar cane stalks is also used in production numerous other products. In addition to being processed into animal feed, pulp or paper, the generation of electricity and use as biofuel also play a role. The raw material made from sugar cane fibers is also used in the construction industry.
How does sugar cane bagasse become food packaging?
The fibrous, ground residues that result from the sugar cane pressing process during sugar manufacture are mixed with water blended into a malleable paste. In the production of food packaging, this pulp mixture is formed into a variety of transport containers for food and drinks in appropriate molds under pressure. A wide variety of disposable tableware can be produced in this way.
How do I dispose of bagasse packaging correctly?
It should by no means be thrown into nature carelessly, because the rotting process takes in a natural environment under the climatic conditions here in Germany − even if it is basically a natural product − simply takes far too long.Disposed of in the organic waste bin, it gets ideal conditions in the industrial composting plants so that it can later be returned to the natural cycle as useful compost
What is the reason for the high level of sustainability?
Extensive cultivation on cane sugar plantations not only covers the global demand for sugar. When extracting granulated sugar or sugar syrup, there are plenty of residues left over from the sugar cane plant, which, thanks to their various utilization options, offer huge potential in terms of sustainable use. In the end, purely bio-based material is even fully compostable.
