There are many environmental benefits to having biodegradable sushi trays for your restaurant or catering business.
Not only can they contribute to a more sustainable business operation, but they can also improve your company's reputation by establishing you as a green and environmentally conscious business.
The Environmental Benefits
The most obvious benefit of using biodegradable sushi trays is that they can break down naturally over time, unlike plastic, thereby reducing the amount of plastic waste that plagues landfills and oceans across the world.
The production of these trays has a lower carbon footprint compared to traditional plastic trays since they are made out of renewable resources, such as plants, rather than fossil fuels. Reduced reliance on finite resources like petroleum ensures a more sustainable industry.
What Are They Made From?
Our sushi trays made from BioCane - a special type of packaging material formulated from bagasse, which is the fibrous byproduct naturally obtained from sugarcane.
This pulpy residue, left after extracting sugarcane juice, is considered an agricultural waste product but can be repurposed into useful products such as trays and containers through the process of moulding it into various shapes. Because it is a renewable resource, it is environmentally friendly.
Sugarcane is considered a fast-growing crop and, therefore, a rapidly renewable resource. The use of its waste products makes the sugar production process as a whole more environmentally friendly and sustainable, as it utilises the entire sugarcane plant.
It also supports the sustainability of the sugarcane industry by preventing this material from being burned, which can contribute to air pollution. By using bagasse to create biodegradable sushi trays, this waste product can be repurposed into something far more useful.
The BioCane product is an eco-friendly alternative to traditional plastic, thereby reducing the demand for petroleum-based products and contributing to a reduction in plastic pollution.
What’s more, the energy required to convert bagasse into useful products, such as sushi trays, is far less than that required for plastic tray production, thereby reducing the overall carbon footprint of the entire supply chain.
