Food SafetyBagasse plates are eco-friendly disposable plates made from sugarcane fiber (bagasse), the natural byproduct remaining after extracting juice from sugarcane stalks. Unlike plastic or paper plates, bagasse plates are manufactured through a molding process using heat and pressure—no harmful chemicals, plastic coatings, or PFAS added.
Our bagasse plates 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 plates that persist for 500+ years.

Everything you need to know about bagasse plates
Bagasse plates are made from sugarcane fiber (bagasse), the fibrous residue remaining after sugarcane juice extraction. This agricultural byproduct is transformed into sturdy, food-safe disposable plates through a molding process using heat and pressure. No trees are cut, no plastic coatings are added, and no harmful chemicals (including PFAS) are used in manufacturing.
Yes, our bagasse plates are FDA approved under 21 CFR 176.170 for direct food contact. They are also ISO 22000 certified for food safety management. The plates are completely PFAS-free, contain no plastic coatings, and are safe for hot foods, cold foods, microwave use (up to 200°F/95°C), and freezer storage.
We offer a complete range of bagasse plate sizes: Round plates in 6", 7", 9", 10", and 12" diameters; Square plates in 6", 8", and 10" sizes; Compartment plates with 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 compartments (available in 9", 10", and 12" sizes). We also manufacture deep plates, pasta plates, and custom sizes for specific applications.
Bagasse plates are 100% compostable and break down in 90-180 days in commercial composting facilities (industrial composting at 140-160°F). They are certified by BPI (ASTM D6400) for USA/Canada and EN13432 for Europe. In comparison, plastic plates take 500+ years to decompose, and Styrofoam never fully biodegrades. Bagasse plates return organic nutrients to the soil without leaving toxic residues.
Yes, bagasse plates are naturally oil and grease resistant without needing plastic or PFAS coatings. They can safely hold hot foods up to 200°F (95°C), making them microwave safe. The plates maintain structural integrity with soups, sauces, gravies, curries, fried foods, and oily dishes. They are also water-resistant for 24+ hours and won't become soggy or leak quickly, unlike paper plates.
The minimum order quantity (MOQ) is 50,000 pieces per plate size and design (e.g., 50,000 pieces of 10" round plates). We offer mixed container loading, allowing you to order multiple plate types and sizes in one shipment to meet variety needs while maintaining MOQ efficiency. Lead time is 15-25 days from order confirmation, and we ship via 20' FCL, 40' FCL, or LCL.
We export bagasse plates from India to over 50 countries including USA, Canada, UK, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Netherlands, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, South Africa, and Kenya. We provide market-specific certifications (FDA for USA, EN13432 for Europe, SASO for Middle East) and complete export documentation including HS codes, certificates of conformity, phytosanitary certificates, and compliance reports.
Compartment plates offer several advantages for institutional food service: (1) Portion control for balanced nutrition, (2) Prevention of food mixing for dietary restrictions, (3) Cost savings by eliminating multiple plates, (4) Faster service in high-volume settings, (5) Reduced post-meal cleanup and waste. They are ideal for schools, hospitals, airlines, cafeterias, and thali-style dining where variety and organization are important.
