Facts

Originally, "bagasse" referred to the waste from pressing olives, palm nuts, and grapes, but it swiftly expanded to encompass the residue from various processed plant products. Nowadays, the term 'bagasse' refers solely to sugarcane residue.

After collecting bagasse fibres from residual sugarcane, they undergo a wet storage phase to eliminate any residual sugar that might hinder subsequent production. Subsequently, the bagasse is mixed with water until the compounds transform into pulp, ready for further processing.

The storage of bagasse varies depending on its intended use. Typically, it is stored before the next processing. For instance, in electricity production, bagasse is stored in moist conditions, undergoing a mild exothermic process that gradually dries the fibres over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

How to know if sugarcane containers are good for your business?

CTV News says that as regulations targeting single-use plastic items become enforceable in Canada, adopting alternative materials like sugarcane fibre is becoming increasingly relevant. Opting for products made from sugarcane fibre or bagasse enhances your company's reputation and provides consumers with higher product quality.

Given their superior attributes and eco-friendly nature, sugarcane fibre products are excellent replacements for plastic packaging. These sugarcane fibre products undoubtedly represent one of the top choices for your food business.

How do sugarcane containers compare to other packaging options?

Sugarcane fibre is a highly effective substitute for paper and traditional packaging materials like Styrofoam and plastic.

Olga Naidenko, a senior scientist claims that styrofoam poses well-documented environmental and health risks. It takes over 500 years to decompose and occupy 30% of landfill space. Approximately 20% of Styrofoam doesn't make it to landfills.

In contrast, sugarcane fibre products offer an affordable and comparable alternative in the food packaging industry. Fruits and vegetables stored in sugarcane fibre packaging experience extended shelf life. The porous nature of these containers allows them to absorb excess moisture that promotes breathability and creates a drier environment for produce.

What are sugarcane containers made of?

• Extra Waxes <1%
• 20%–25% Hemicellulose
• 45%–55% Cellulose
• 1%–4% Ash
• 18%–25% Lignin (a complex organic polymer)

Can these containers be reused for different purposes?

If the container remains in good condition after its initial use, it could potentially be used again for light storage or organizational tasks. However, it's not recommended for repeated use with food, especially hot foods or liquids, as the material may degrade over time. For any reuse, it's important to consider the container's condition and the intended secondary use.
