How are bagasse products produced?

Collection and Preparation:

After the sugarcane is crushed for juice, the leftover bagasse is collected. It is then cleaned to remove any dirt or impurities .

Pulping:

The cleaned bagasse undergoes a pulping process where it is broken down into a raw material that can be molded into various shapes.

Molding:

The pulp is then molded into the desired shapes, such as trays, bowls, or packaging materials with machinery that gives the bagasse its final shape .

Drying:

The molded bagasse items are dried to remove moisture and ensure they are sturdy and durable. This step is crucial for the product's longevity and to prevent microbial growth .

Cutting and Finishing:

Once dried, the bagasse products are cut to size and any excess material is trimmed off. They may then be smoothed and polished to ensure a high-quality finish .

Printing:

If the product requires branding or design, this is the stage where printing is done. UV ink printing is often used, which is more environmentally friendly than traditional printing methods .

Quality Control:

Each product undergoes a quality check to ensure it meets the required standards.
