Sugarcane fiber, sometimes referred to as bagasse, is an environmentally friendly material because it is renewable, biodegradable, and compostable. It is also more eco-friendly to produce than wood-pulp paper.
Sugarcane is a sustainable crop because of its long growing cycles that only require replanting once every six years. Using the by-products of sugarcane production instead of wood pulp or traditional paper, can help lower pollution and preserve forest ecosystems. Deforestation accounts for a significant percentage of all greenhouse gas emissions worldwide. Sugarcane products, under the right conditions, typically biodegrade within 90 days making them more environmentally friendly than other options.
