As environmental awareness grows, more and more businesses and consumers are prioritizing the environmental impact of their product choices.

1. Raw Materials and Manufacturing Process of sugarcane(Bagasse) pulp products

The main raw material of sugarcane(Bagasse) pulp products is bagasse, which is the byproduct of sugar extraction from sugarcane. Through a high-temperature molding process, this agricultural waste is transformed into biodegradable, eco-friendly products. As sugarcane is a renewable resource, products made from bagasse not only reduce dependence on wood and plastic but also efficiently utilize agricultural waste, thus minimizing resource waste and environmental pollution.

Additionally, no harmful substances are added to sugarcane(Bagasse) pulp products during the manufacturing process, making them highly advantageous in terms of both food safety and environmental sustainability.

2. Characteristics of sugarcane(Bagasse) pulp products

sugarcaneBagasse) pulp products have several key features:

1. **Eco-Friendliness**: sugarcane(Bagasse) pulp products are fully biodegradable and compostable under suitable conditions, breaking down into organic matter naturally. In contrast, traditional plastic products take hundreds of years to decompose, while sugarcane(Bagasse) pulp products decompose fully within months, causing no long-term environmental harm.

2. **Safety**: These products use oil-resistant and water-resistant agents that meet food contact safety standards, ensuring they can safely come into contact with food. The content of the oil-resistant agent is less than 0.28%, and the water-resistant agent is less than 0.698%, ensuring their safety and stability during use.

3. **Appearance and Performance**: sugarcane(Bagasse) pulp products are available in white (bleached) or light brown (unbleached), with the whiteness of bleached products at 72% or higher and unbleached products between 33% and 47%. They not only have a natural appearance and pleasant texture but also boast properties like water resistance, oil resistance, and heat resistance.
