They are certainly water resistant but not water proof. If you need waterproof packaging, we suggest our POLLAST!C range. You may also want to wrap your products in a POLLAST!C poly bag before sending in a box or envelope.

Sugarcane Waste packaging is biodegradable so you can put it in your compost, but we recommend recycling over composting. 

Recycling keeps the fibres 'in loop' and is a more circular solution. Composting these would be considered 'downcycling'. 

Absolutely. You can write on these with a pen orpencil and they take stampsreally well too. Labels stick no problem.

Our Sugarcane Waste packaging is made from the crushed stalks of sugarcane in a process similar to paper. It is made from at least 70% bagasse (sugarcane waste) and the rest is bamboo (also a rapidly renewable resource).

The printing inks are water-based and the seal strip is a non-toxic, cold melt glue.

With proper care, Sugarcane Waste packaging can last for years, but should be kept away from direct sunlight. Store this packaging in a cool, dry place to prevent mould growth.

Sugarcane Waste packaging is recycled and recyclable! It is a great alternative to traditional paper/card materials because it is made by recycling the waste byproduct of sugar-making. This is in fact the lowest carbon way to deal with this waste.

Sugarcane Waste packaging has a relatively low carbon footprint because the process of growing Sugarcane captures CO2 from the atmosphere and turns it into Oxygen. We manufacture Sugarcane Waste packaging in Asia, close to where the bagasse is created. In this way the carbon footprint from transportation is kept down. 

How Sugarcane Waste packaging behaves in a landfill depends on what type of landfill it is. Most landfills are anaerobic (do not allow oxygen to circulate) and all materials struggle to breakdown in them. More modern landfills are designed to enable degradation to occur and the resulting gases to be captured and utilised. In these aerobic landfills, Sugarcane Waste packaging will decompose.
