Facts

Bagasse is the fibrous scrap left after extracting juice from sugarcane stalks. It is an agricultural non-edible byproduct, with an estimated 570 million tonnes generated annually. The term "bagasse" stems from the French word "bagage," which means "rubbish" or "waste." Today, it specifically refers to sugarcane residue, which is used for various plant processing leftovers.

Clarence Birdsong's 1937 invention revolutionized paper production by utilizing bagasse as a viable alternative to wood pulp. The first successful commercial production of bagasse newsprint followed in 1950.

How it’s Made

• Following juice extraction, bagasse fibres are stored wet to remove residual sugars. 
• They’re then blended with water to create a pulp suitable for further processing.
• Storage methods vary depending on the end use. 

For example, bagasse destined for electricity generation requires controlled drying, while paper production necessitates keeping it wet for optimal pith fibre removal (around 30-40% of bagasse).

Dried Bagasse Composition

• 45-55% Cellulose: Provides structure and strength.
• 20-25% Hemicellulose: Binds cellulose fibers together.
• 18-24% Lignin: Adds rigidity and water resistance.
• 1-4% Ash: Mineral content.
• <1% Waxes: Contribute to water repellency.

Sugarcane Bagasse vs. Traditional Packaging

• Traditional paper cups, often coated with fossil fuel-derived polyethylene, take over 20 years to decompose in landfills and contribute to deforestation.
• Sugarcane produces 100 million tons of bagasse annually. Utilizing bagasse for packaging reduces waste and supports farmers by finding a valuable purpose for this agricultural byproduct.
• Bagasse containers biodegrade within 30-90 days in natural environments and compost entirely in commercial facilities within 60 days. This breakdown process creates nutrient-rich fertilizer, returning valuable elements to the soil.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are there any limitations on the type of food I can store in these containers?

These containers are suitable for a variety of hot and cold foods. However, they are not intended for prolonged storage of acidic foods (like citrus fruits or tomato-based sauces) as the acidity can potentially break down the bagasse fibres over time.

How effective are sugarcane pulps for food packaging?

Bagasse is highly effective for food and drink containers, including takeaway packaging, due to its natural properties:

• No added chemicals are needed for water and grease resistance.
• Temperature Compatibility
• Stronger and more durable than polystyrene and paper products.
• Keeps contents warmer for longer periods.
