Phasing Out Plastic: What Is the Alternative?

Plastics have become a major environmental issue on our planet. They are found in all parts of our life, and the disposable plastics that we have become so used to are clogging our drainage and waterways and polluting the rivers and oceans. So, what is the alternative to wean us off our dependency on petroleum-based disposable food ware like spoons, plates and cups? 

Effective alternative for plastic, that is a more direct way of utilizing renewable materials and is less technology intensive, is bagasse-based products. Bagasse is the industrial residue generated by milling of sugarcane.  

Bagasse can be transformed into plates, cups, bowls, spoons, takeaway containers and delivery containers. Bagasse-based product have a very fine finish, compared to other eco-friendly products like areca leaf plates.
