Everything you need to know about bagasse cutlery
Bagasse cutlery is made from sugarcane fiber (bagasse), the fibrous residue remaining after sugarcane stalks are crushed to extract juice. This agricultural waste is transformed into sturdy, food-safe cutlery through a molding process using heat and pressure. No trees are cut, no plastic is used, and no harmful chemicals or PFAS coatings are added.
Yes, bagasse cutlery is heat-resistant up to 200°F (95°C) and strong enough to cut through meats, vegetables, salads, and dense foods. It won't bend, break, or splinter during use. The serrated edge on knives provides excellent cutting performance. Bagasse cutlery is superior to wooden utensils (which splinter) and plastic cutlery (which breaks easily).
Bagasse cutlery is 100% compostable and breaks down in 90-180 days in commercial composting facilities. This is certified by BPI (ASTM D6868) for USA/Canada and EN13432 for Europe. In comparison, plastic cutlery takes 500+ years to decompose and never fully biodegrades, leaving microplastics. Bagasse cutlery returns nutrients to the soil without toxic residues.
The minimum order quantity is 50,000 pieces per cutlery type (e.g., 50,000 forks). For combo sets, the MOQ is 50,000 sets. For coffee stirrers, the MOQ is 100,000 pieces. We offer mixed container loading, allowing you to order multiple types in one shipment. Lead time is 15-25 days from order confirmation, and we ship via 20' FCL, 40' FCL, or LCL.
No, bagasse cutlery has a smooth finish and comfortable grip. Unlike wooden utensils that splinter and leave wood shards in food, bagasse cutlery maintains its integrity throughout use. The molded fiber construction creates a solid, splinter-free surface. It also doesn't leave a plastic aftertaste like plastic cutlery. The texture is comfortable to hold and won't irritate the mouth.
We export bagasse cutlery from UK to over 50 countries including USA, Canada, UK, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Netherlands, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Australia, New Zealand, and Singapore. We provide market-specific certifications (FDA for USA, EN13432 for Europe, SASO for Middle East) and full export documentation including HS codes (4823.70.0000), certificates of conformity, test reports, and compliance documentation.
