Bagasse Range
Product Information
Bagasse is simply a by-product of the sugarcane harvesting process. Often referred to as sugarcane pulp, it's the fibrous substance left behind after the juice has been extracted (meaning no waste!). A fast growing renewable plant material which is diverse and easily malleable, so can be moulded into loads of fantastic products.
We're proud to share that since July 2023, a selection of our Bagasse products delivered to our warehouse have tested PFAS-free (read more on this below).
Bagasse
Bagasse, is the fibrous matter that remains after sugarcane stalks are crushed to extract their juice.
So, why Bagasse?
Bagasse is pretty sweet, and not just because it comes from sugarcane. Sugarcane is a fast-growing renewable resource that relies on nothing more than mother nature's rainwater and sunshine to survive, and has little wear and tear on soil quality.
It's a versatile, lightweight material that can handle hot or cold foods, whether they're dry or greasy.
From Burger Clams to Hot Cup Lids, our Bagasse range has something to suit your needs. You can view our Bagasse range here.
What about the production of Bagasse, does this harm our environment?
As it's the pulp left behind from sugarcane juice extraction, we can guarantee that Bagasse is one of the most sustainable packaging materials currently on the market. Sugarcane is a fast-growing renewable resource meaning there's plenty of it, and it helps to prevent deforestation of our native forests.
Are your Bagasse products safe to put in the oven, microwave or freezer?
Yes, all of our Bagasse products are fine in temperatures up to 220°C and can be frozen too. Ideal for heating, re-heating or refrigerating any food items to help minimise food waste.
Can they hold liquids?
Yes, some of our Bagasse Containers come with lids so that your food won't leak. Our Tiny Tubs are perfect for holding sauces, jams, cream and so on!
Does your Bagasse range contain any PFAS chemicals?
Our Bagasse range has no intentionally added PFAS.
PFAS chemicals are used in many industries to repel grease and other liquids. Low levels of PFAS have been detected in most natural environments such as soil and water around the globe. For that reason, we acknowledge that small traces of PFAS could be present in the environment where our products are grown and made and why we say they have not been intentionally added.
So what exactly are PFAS?
PFAS stands for Per-and Polyfluorinated Substances, which are human-made chemicals developed to help make materials heat, oil, stain, grease or water resistant. These chemicals are found in many things we use in our daily lives, like clothing, furniture, makeup, food, and even drinking water. They're so widespread that they're often referred to as "everywhere chemicals." Scientists are studying these chemicals to understand how they might affect our health because we come into contact with them regularly.
Here at decent, we're committed to being transparent around PFAS and have never intentionally added these to our products. They have previously been discovered in Bagasse products across the food packaging industry, so we're now conducting regular testing to make sure our range is PFAS-free. If you have any questions about this, please don't hesitate to get in touch with our team here.
