Check equipment on site
Bagasse and bamboo pulp
The tableware is moulded from a pulp blend of 75% sugarcane bagasse and 25% bamboo, bought in as pulp board from Lincang, Yunnan. White versions use bleached pulp, bleached without chlorine-based bleaching agents according to the factory. Bagasse is the fibre left after sugarcane is crushed for juice. Products are supplied in natural (unbleached) and white versions.
The grease barrier is chosen per order. Compare the fluorine-free and fluorinated grades.
