Food SafetyBagasse cups are eco-friendly disposable cups made from sugarcane fiber (bagasse), the natural byproduct remaining after extracting juice from sugarcane stalks. Unlike plastic-lined paper cups or styrofoam, bagasse cups are manufactured through a molding process using heat and pressure—no plastic linings, wax coatings, PFAS, or harmful chemicals added.
Our bagasse cups are FDA certified, BPI compostable, and EN13432 compliant for international markets. They break down naturally in 90-180 days in commercial composting facilities, compared to plastic-lined paper cups that persist for 20+ years and leave microplastic residues.
Ideal for coffee shops, juice bars, cafes, restaurants, food trucks, catering, events, and eco-conscious businesses seeking sustainable alternatives to plastic-lined paper cups and styrofoam.
