The Sugar Cane Paper Company, the largest manufacturer and distributor of bagasse-made, “treeless” paper goods in the world, announces the availability of bagasse-made napkins, toilet paper, tissue and paper towels; making it the only company with this complete line of eco-friendly products in the U.S. marketplace.
Bagasse is the fibrous residue left over in the sugar-making process after the sugar cane has been crushed and the sugar extracted.
100% of The Sugar Cane Paper Company’s paper products are from recycled materials—85% is recycled waste (bagasse) and the remaining 15%, recycled paper. Sugar Cane Paper Company products use only ECF chlorine-free bleaching and are 100% biodegradable. They are also recyclable and can be composted.
With tree-made paper accounting for over 90% of the world's paper production and the largest consumer of our forest resources,The Sugar Cane Paper Company’s products provide restaurants, corporate cafeterias and other retail outlets the opportunity to offer its employees and consumers the most eco-friendly paper goods ever produced. The use of ‘treeless” paper goods also provide the food industry with the opportunity to showcase its commitment to environmentally responsible products and operations.
Beyond eco-friendly, The Sugar Cane Paper Company has developed the most advanced technologies available, making its bagasse-made paper goods comparable in quality to existing paper products on the market and price-competitive—making “green’ affordable in the food industry.
The Sugar Cane Paper Company also produces “treeless” tableware, including bagasse bowls, boxes, cups and plates for the food industry that can replace Styrofoam and other petroleum-based packaging products.
“The environmental community has brought consumer awareness and demand for FSC defined ‘recycled paper’ light-years from just five years ago. Recycling 54million tons of paper means that we have saved a lot of trees. But, is our recycling rate high enough? Probably not,” said Sugar Cane Paper Company President, Mark Harrison.
“Treeless” paper is the next big step in meeting consumer demand for preserving the world’s forest resources,” adds Harrison.
The Sugar Cane Paper Company’s products also come from recycled materials—bagasse-- recycled waste that would otherwise be burned, adding to the global warming crisis. Or, if not burned, dumped into our already overflowing landfills. And since they are 85% free of any tree fiber, they have little impact on our forests,” said Harrison.
