Bagasse is the fibrous material that remains after the juices are removed from the sugarcane stalk. The sugar cane juice is used to make sugar. The fibrous portion is a by-product after the juices are separated. Usually, the bagasse can be made into toilet paper, but now, a brand-new type of disposable tableware is made by bagasse.
To make the compostable Bagasse plates and bowls, the process starts with the repurposed Bagasse material. The material arrives at the manufacturing facility as wet pulp. The wet pulp is then converted to dry pulpboard after being pressed in a beating tank. Bagasse can be made into tableware using either wet pulp or dry pulpboard; while wet pulp requires fewer steps in the production process than using dry pulpboard, wet pulp retains impurities in its mixture. We takes the extra step to remove the impurities and convert the wet pulp to dry pulpboard in order to make higher quality products.
After the wet pulp has been converted to dry pulpboard, the substance is mixed with an anti-oil and anti-water agent in a Pulper to make the substance sturdier. Once blended, the mixture is piped into a Preparation Tank and then the molding machines. The molding machines instantaneously press the mixture into the shape of a bowl or plate, creating up to six plates and nine bowls at a time.
