Product details
9 inch bagasse round plates supplied in a pack of 125. Made from natural sugarcane fibre — also known as bagasse — these plates are a stronger, compostable plant-fibre alternative to basic paper or plastic plates. Suitable for hot and cold food, they are a practical step up from thin paper plates for meals, buffets, catering and events.
At 9 inches in diameter, these are a dinner plate size — large enough for a full buffet portion, a BBQ plate or a casual meal. The moulded sugarcane fibre construction gives them more rigidity than standard paper plates, making them better suited to heavier food and more substantial servings. For very wet or oily dishes, check suitability and avoid long holding times.
What is Bagasse?
Bagasse is a plant fibre made from sugarcane residue. Instead of going to waste, the fibre is pressed into moulded food packaging such as plates, bowls and meal boxes. It creates a strong, lightweight and disposable material that is commonly used as an alternative to plastic or basic paper plates.
