Bagasse Bowls
Our biodegradable and compostable bowls are made from 100% bagasse, which
is the sugarcane fiber remaining after extraction of juice from
sugarcane. Sugarcane is not only an annually renewable resource, but it
can be turned into products normally made from plastic or paper. Using
bagasse also avoids the pollution that would normally happen as a
result of burning sugarcane pulp after juice extraction.
Our biodegradable bowls are soak proof, have no plastic or wax lining,
and can be used for both hot and cold items. Though these compostable
bowls are soak proof, hot items will cause the plates to "perspire"
and some condensation will form at the bottom.
Instead of using petroleum based plastics which create toxicity and
environmental pollution, you can now use our compostable alternatives.
PLA Bowls
Trellis Earth® bioplastic bowls provide a viable, non-toxic,
disposable alternative to pure plastic bowls. Made from biodegradable
polymers, starches and complimentary ingredients, our plates are
"sensibly green." Our unique blend even allows them to be taken
straight from the fridge to the microwave for easy and efficient
reheating.
PLA Lined Paper Bowls World Centric biodegradable and compostable paper bowls are lined with
NatureWorks Ingeo™ polylactic acid (PLA), which is derived from corn
grown in the USA. Most cups you'll find on the market are lined with
polyethylene and wont compost. Our bowls work perfect for hot foods up
to 200 degrees F.
Cafes, restaurants and cafeterias require paper products for their
look, printability and general customer acceptance. Technologically,
it's very hard to make something similar to paper cups from alternative
fibers. We are still researching to see if paper cups and bowls can be
made from a mix of alternative fibers, recycled fibers and sustainably
managed wood fibers to create a more sustainable product.
Instead of using petroleum based plastics which create toxicity and
environmental pollution, you can now use our compostable alternatives.
Please note that composting is required for biodegradation. These
compostable plates will biodegrade within 30 days in a commercial
composting facility, and within 90 days in a home composting system.
