Bagasse/Wheat 9x9x3 3-Compt Clamshell

Bagasse/Wheatstraw To-Go Clamshells

These to-go containers bagasse are made from residual sugarcane fiber and wheatstraw, obtained after juice and grain extraction. Plant fiber clamshells can withstand temperatures of up to 200 degrees F. Clamshell sizes range from 15 to 34 ounces and 8" to 9". Plant fiber clamshells come in single compartments, double compartments and three compartments. Our clamshells are primarily unbleached, so they come in a natural light brown color. Occasionally, they are available bleached.

100% Biodegradable, 100% Compostable!

Our plant fiber based products are now made from sugarcane (bagasse) and wheatstraw fiber. Sugarcane and wheatstraw are not only annually renewable resources, but can also be turned into products normally made from plastic or paper. Bagasse is the sugarcane fiber remaining after extraction of juice from sugarcane and the wheatstraw is the remaining plant material after the wheat grain and chaff have been extracted. We use these byproducts to make compostable tableware.

Our compostable plates are

• microwave and freezer safe, can be used for both hot and cold items
• soak proof
• have no plastic or wax lining
• handle hot liquids up to 220 Fahrenheit (moisture forms at the bottom for hot food items)
• fully compostable, sturdy and strong
• meet ASTM D-6400 standard for compostability

Though these compostable plates are soak proof, hot items will cause the plates to "perspire" and some condensation will form at the bottom.

Our products meet FDA standards for food contact and are Gluten-Free. They are made from the wheat stalks and not from the food grain which stores the proteins and allergens.

Q:  What is Bagasse?
A:  Bagasse is the biomass remaining after sugarcane stalks are crushed to extract their juice.
