What Is Bagasse Tray

 

Bagasse is a by-product of sugar production. Bagasse is the fiber that remains after extraction of juice from sugarcane. The remaining fiber is pressed into forms in a high-heat, high-pressure process using considerably less energy compared with pulping wood for paper products.Food trays made from bagasse are thicker and more rigid than traditional paper or plastic trays. They have ideal thermal properties for hot, wet or oily foods. You can even microwave them for 2-3 minutes.

Bagasse Tray: A Sustainable Alternative

 

Bagasse trays are made from the fibrous residue left after sugarcane stalks are crushed to extract their juice. This byproduct, known as bagasse, is usually discarded or burned. However, it can be transformed into a valuable resource by converting it into biodegradable food trays.

The Benefits of Bagasse Trays
Using bagasse trays offers several advantages over traditional plastic or Styrofoam containers. Firstly, they are completely biodegradable and will naturally decompose within a few months, reducing waste in landfills. Secondly, bagasse trays are microwave and freezer safe, making them convenient for both heating and storing food. Additionally, these trays have excellent insulation properties that keep hot foods hot and cold foods cold for longer periods.

A Positive Impact on the Environment
By choosing bagasse trays over conventional packaging options, we can significantly reduce our carbon footprint. Bagasse is a renewable resource that requires minimal energy to produce compared to plastic or Styrofoam alternatives. Furthermore, its production does not contribute to deforestation since it comes from sugarcane waste rather than trees.

Bagasse trays provide an eco-friendly solution for food packaging without compromising on functionality or convenience. With Qiaowang' range of compostable bagasse food trays available in various sizes and designs at competitive prices, individuals and businesses alike can make sustainable choices while enjoying their favorite meals guilt-free.

 

Are Bagasse Trays Good Choice for Food Packaging?
 

Bagasse trays are made from a renewable resource. This product can be made from plant-based materials rather than using plastics or packing paper.
Bagasse is the waste matter that results from sugarcane processing. The juice is removed from the original plant through pulping, and the fiber remains are regarded as Bagasse.
Sugarcane bagasse is a non-wood fiber. It's flexible and lightweight.
The great thing about this product is the quality of raw materials used in trays production. It is not contaminated with chemical additives, dyes, and adhesives.

Benefits

  • Designed to be 100% recyclable when finished
  • Designed to be 100% compostable and biodegradable
  • Maximum stiffness and durability. Able to withstand the rigors of daily use in an outdoor environment.
  • You can use a bagasse tray in cooling and warming food materials either in the refrigerator and oven.
  • Able to withstand water and grease stains.

Features

  • Bagasse trays are made from a sturdier, more durable material than typical paper or plastic trays.
  • Their thermal conductivity makes them ideal for keeping foods warm and moist.
  • Highly resistant and able to withstand temperatures up to 95° Celsius
  • Doesn't break down like other compost materials. It is only after several weeks of exposure to the elements that this material begins to decompose.

The manufacturing process of Bagasse Trays
The process you can use to manufacture bagasse trays is listed below:

  • Soaking the bagasse pulp board and pumping through a hydraulic press. Then, it goes into a mixing tank and will add water and oil in a formulator, and later it goes on to a forming machine, which dewaters the pulp.
  • Forming is converting an intermediate product (made out of pulp or paper) into a finished product. Forming is used to cool and solidify the pulp. The process involves loading the paper into either heated or cooled molds (or presses) and then removing the product from the mold.
  • Steam-assisted drying is an intensive method that utilizes steam for drying. It can minimize the amount of time and energy spent on drying, allowing for a more efficient process to enhance environmental sustainability.
  • A precision machining center takes out the product from the machine. The product is then moved into a trimming station, where it's carefully trimmed and sterilized for quality assurance.
  • Now the product is ready for shipping or storage.

Bagasse and its Application
 

What is bagasse? Bagasse is the remnant of sugar cane trunks. Their characteristic of bagasse is the fiber that can be extracted from the sugarcane and are agricultural residues from the sugar industry.
The applications of bagasse are shown as follows:

Used as a fuel for generating electricity
Bagasse is a by-product of the sugarcane crushing process. Bagasse is flammable, it consists of the main elements carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen. It has a low heating value which is suitable for use as a fuel for generating electricity.

Food packaging
Food packaging made from bagasse pulp is friendly with users and the environment which is a product of biotechnology that uses waste materials such as bagasse left over from the sugar industry. Because Thailand is the world's largest sugar producer. As a result, there is a lot of bagasse left over from the production, so it can be used as a food packaging instead of foam boxes that cause environmental and human problems.
Although the bagasse packaging is human and environment-friendly, it still not very popular in Thailand. While in Europe, America, or Japan, bagasse packaging is more popular than foam because it is safer for consumers, but costs about twice the price of foam. If the government dominantly supports the use of bagasse packaging, it could be the lower packaging costs.

Ethanol
Bagasse pulp can be used to produce ethanol due to the increasing price of molasses (3,000 – 3,500 baht / ton, 2020 AD), resulting in higher ethanol production costs. If it is not a sugarcane crushing factory that has raw materials from molasses, it may be difficult with ethanol production costs. As a result, many energy industries are turning to sugarcane bagasse to produce ethanol, which is more cost-effective.

Used to produce medium density fiberboard
Bagasse can be used to produce medium density fiberboard which can increase the value from bagasse around 400 times. Bring the bagasse, especially the long fiber pulp, crushed it like cotton wool. Mix the glue and chemicals with the bagasse together into the dryer. After that, transfer into a compress machine with a steam and heat. Finally, medium density fiberboards are obtained.

Paper
Bagasse can be used to produce pulp for paper industry. Although there are few paper mills from bagasse pulp in Thailand, because most paper mills use eucalyptus wood as main raw material. However, it is very popular in other countries, especially Brazil.
