The 9x9 Bagasse Clamshell is made from bagasse, a natural byproduct of sugarcane processing. Bagasse is a fibrous residue left after sugarcane stalks are crushed to extract their juice. Utilizing this material not only helps reduce waste from sugarcane processing but also offers a renewable and biodegradable alternative to traditional plastic or foam containers. By choosing our bagasse clamshell, you're making a significant step towards reducing single-use plastic waste and promoting sustainable practices.
