Bagasse Plates, Bowls, Burger Boxes & Trays

As the UK catering industry moves away from single-use plastics, bagasse has become one of the most trusted eco-friendly alternatives available. Made from the fibrous pulp left over after sugarcane juice is extracted, bagasse disposables are a sustainable choice, turning agricultural waste into high-performing, food-safe tableware, with no virgin wood or oil-derived plastics involved.

At Cooksmill, we stock a full range of bagasse tableware, including plates, bowls, burger boxes, and trays, all available at competitive trade prices and suited to a wide variety of professional catering environments.

What is Bagasse?

Bagasse is the dry fibrous residue left behind after sugarcane stalks are crushed to extract their juice. Rather than being discarded, this by-product is compressed and moulded under heat to create strong, food-safe disposable tableware that performs like conventional disposables, but with a far lower environmental footprint. It's fully compostable, free from harmful chemicals, and safe for direct contact with all food types.

Why Choose Bagasse?

Not all eco-friendly disposables deliver on performance. Paper plates go soggy, and many so-called biodegradable products still contain petroleum-derived coatings. Bagasse is naturally heat and grease resistant, microwave safe, and holds its structure under hot, wet, or oily foods without warping or collapsing. For caterers who've struggled with paper alternatives buckling under a curry or a stew, bagasse is a significant upgrade.

It also contains no oil-derived plastics, making it fully compliant with the UK's restrictions on single-use plastics, a future-proof choice for any food service business.

Our Bagasse Range

Our plates come in a range of sizes from side plates to full dinner plates, suitable for everything from snacks to substantial hot meals. Our bowls are deep enough for soups, curries, and noodle dishes, maintaining their shape throughout the meal even with hot or liquid-heavy foods. Our burger boxes keep buns and fillings contained, warm, and presentable, a natural replacement for polystyrene clamshells. And our trays offer a sturdy flat option for meal deals and multi-component dishes.

Bagasse tableware is used by street food vendors, festival caterers, schools, hospitals, corporate canteens, and restaurant takeaway operations across the UK.
