In recent years, more and more people have become aware of the environmental impact of disposable products, especially those made of plastic. As a result, there has been a growing demand for sustainable alternatives that are biodegradable, compostable, and recyclable. One such alternative is sugarcane fiber, a highly sustainable material that is both environmentally friendly and functional. In this blog post, we will explore the benefits of sugarcane fiber and how Ningbo Homelink Eco-iTech Co., Ltd. is leading the way in producing high-quality, sustainable products made from this material.
What is Sugarcane Fiber?
Sugarcane fiber, also known as bagasse, is the dry pulpy fibrous material that remains after crushing sugarcane stalks to extract their juice. It is a highly sustainable material choice, with sugarcane stalks growing back two to three times per year. Sugarcane fiber is 100% compostable and recyclable, and degrades much faster than paper products, making it a greener alternative to paper and wood.
Ningbo Homelink Eco-iTech Co., Ltd. is a world leader in the manufacture of sustainable tableware and packaging using plant-based materials. With a commitment to sustainability, Homelink began studying more sustainable sources of materials in 2010. In 2012, they purchased equipment to begin producing more than 5,000 MT of biodegradable material, and today that number has increased to 100,000 MT, making Homelink the largest compounder and fabricator in the world. By the end of 2022, Homelink is expected to become the largest bagasse fabricator in China.

Advantages of Sugarcane Fiber Products
Sugarcane fiber products are becoming increasingly popular in the foodservice industry due to their numerous advantages. Here are some of the benefits of using sugarcane fiber products:
- Environmentally Friendly
Sugarcane fiber products are made from natural and renewable resources, making them an environmentally friendly alternative to conventional plastic and paper products. They are biodegradable, compostable, and can be recycled.
- Sustainable
Sugarcane is a highly sustainable crop that can be harvested up to three times a year. By using sugarcane fiber products, we can reduce our reliance on non-renewable resources and support sustainable farming practices.
- PFAS Free
Unlike traditional paper and plastic products, sugarcane fiber products are free from PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances). These harmful chemicals have been linked to a range of health problems, and their use in food packaging has raised concerns about their potential impact on human health.
- Durable
Sugarcane fiber products are strong and durable, making them ideal for use in the foodservice industry. They can hold hot and cold foods without breaking down or becoming soggy, and they are resistant to oil and grease.
- Microwave Safe
Sugarcane fiber products can be safely used in the microwave, making them a convenient choice for busy households and foodservice businesses.
H2: Applications of Sugarcane Fiber Products
Sugarcane fiber products can be used in a wide range of applications, from food packaging to tableware. Here are some of the most common applications of sugarcane fiber products:
- Food Packaging
Sugarcane fiber products are commonly used as food packaging, such as takeout containers, plates, and bowls. They are an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional plastic and paper packaging, and they offer superior strength and durability.
- Tableware
Sugarcane fiber products are also used as tableware, including cups, plates, and cutlery. They are an attractive and sustainable alternative to traditional plastic and paper tableware, and they can be safely used in the microwave.
- Agricultural Applications
Sugarcane fiber products can also be used in agricultural applications, such as soil erosion control and as a component in animal feed.
