Bagasse Plates
Our biodegradable and compostable plates 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 plates are soak proof, have no plastic or wax lining,
and can be used for both hot and cold items. Though these compostable
plates 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 Plates
Trellis Earth® bioplastic plates provide a viable, non-toxic,
disposable alternative to pure plastic plates. 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.
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.
