What are sugarcane plates and how they are made?

Sugarcane plates, or bagasse plates, are environmentally friendly and sustainable alternatives to traditional disposable plates. Fresh Tableware specializes in creating these eco-friendly plates using a careful and responsible manufacturing process.

Here is an overview of how Fresh Tableware makes sugarcane plates:
Sugarcane Harvesting: Sugarcane, a tall perennial grass, is grown in fields specifically cultivated for its production. The mature sugarcane stalks are harvested by cutting them close to the ground.
Juice Extraction: After harvesting, the sugarcane stalks are transported to sugar mills or processing plants. Here, they undergo a process called juice extraction, where the stalks are crushed to extract the sweet sugarcane juice. This juice is used in sugar production.
Bagasse Collection: Once the juice is extracted, the remaining fibrous material, called bagasse, is collected. Bagasse is the residue left after the sugarcane fibers are separated from the juice. It consists of crushed stalks and fibrous matter.
Bagasse Processing: Fresh Tableware takes the collected bagasse and processes it to transform it into usable material for making plates. The bagasse goes through a cleaning process to remove any impurities or contaminants.
Pulp Formation: The cleaned bagasse is then converted into pulp. It is finely chopped and mixed with water to create a fibrous pulp. This pulp has natural binding properties due to the cellulose fibers present in bagasse.
Plate Molding: The bagasse pulp is molded into plate-shaped molds using specialized machinery. Heat and pressure are applied to the molds to shape and solidify the pulp into the desired plate form. The plates are then left to dry, allowing them to retain their shape and strength.
Quality Control and Packaging: Once the sugarcane plates are dry, they undergo a rigorous quality control process. Fresh Tableware ensures that the plates meet their high strength, durability, and eco-friendliness standards. The approved plates are then carefully packaged and prepared for distribution.

Sugarcane plates from Fresh Tableware are an eco-conscious choice as they utilize bagasse, a by-product of the sugarcane industry that would otherwise be discarded. These plates are biodegradable, compostable, and free from harmful chemicals, making them a sustainable option for food services and events.

By choosing sugarcane plates from Fresh Tableware, you enjoy the convenience of disposable tableware and contribute to reducing waste and promoting a greener planet. Embrace sustainability with Fresh Tableware’s sugarcane plates and make a positive impact on the environment.
