9x6 inch Biodegradable Sugarcane Molded Lunch Box

From nature to nature:

The process of transforming sugarcane into bagasse tableware and then back to sugarcane involves several steps that highlight the sustainability and circular economy of using natural resources. Here’s a breakdown of the process:

1. Sugarcane Cultivation

Growing: Sugarcane is cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions. It requires a warm climate, plenty of sunlight, and adequate water.

Harvesting: Once mature, sugarcane is harvested, typically by cutting the stalks close to the ground.

2. Sugar Extraction

Crushing: The harvested sugarcane is crushed to extract the juice, which is then processed to produce sugar.

Juice Processing: The extracted juice is clarified, evaporated, and crystallized to produce raw sugar.

3. Bagasse Production

Byproduct: After the juice is extracted, the remaining fibrous material is called bagasse. This is a byproduct of the sugar extraction process.

Drying: Bagasse is dried to reduce moisture content, making it suitable for further processing.

4. Bagasse Tableware Manufacturing

Pulping: The dried bagasse is pulped, breaking it down into a fibrous slurry.

Molding: The pulp is then molded into various shapes, such as plates, bowls, and containers, and subjected to heat and pressure to form durable tableware.

Finishing: The molded products are dried and may undergo additional treatments to enhance their strength and water resistance.
