Bagasse trays are quickly becoming a preferred alternative to plastic and foam trays, thanks to their impressive balance of durability and sustainability. Made from sugarcane pulp—a byproduct of the sugar industry—bagasse trays are fully compostable and biodegradable, breaking down in commercial composting facilities within 60–90 days.
In terms of strength, bagasse trays hold their own. They're designed to handle hot, greasy, and heavy foods without bending or leaking. Unlike foam, which can melt or collapse under heat, and plastic, which often isn't microwave-safe or compostable, bagasse performs reliably across a wide range of applications.
For foodservice operators looking to reduce environmental impact without compromising performance, bagasse trays are a smart, future-forward choice.
