With that in mind, here's why everyday essentials made out of sugarcane bagasse products are a perfect option for all kinds of table settings. Read on to explore more.

What is Bagasse? And, Is It Eco-Friendly?

Stating again, bagasse is a leftover residue of sugarcane fiber that remains once the cane is turned into sugar. Traditionally, this "agro-waste" usually ends up in landfills where it is burnt.

However, we, at EcoSoul, upcycle this plant waste into everyday essentials that not only allow you to follow a sustainable lifestyle but also host easy gatherings.

Lastly, bagasse products are compostable. With a back-to-nature promise, all bagasse essentials available at EcoSoul go back to nature in a couple of weeks once discarded. Because they are made entirely from plants, these products break down into smaller pieces and turn into compost. You can either dispose of them in a composting facility or in a compost bin.
