Sustainability

Proud packaging, honestly explained.

Our primary line is plant-based: sugarcane bagasse, cornstarch blends and paper. Here is the science and the law behind it — with every number sourced.

Field → fibre → table → soil

The life of a bagasse plate.

Our primary line starts where sugar production ends. Here is the whole journey — and the part plastic never gets to.

  1. 01

    The field

    Sugarcane is grown for its juice. Once the juice is pressed out, the fibrous stalk that remains is called bagasse.

  2. 02

    The fibre

    That leftover fibre is pulped and cleaned — a by-product becomes a raw material instead of waste.

  3. 03

    The mould

    Heat and pressure in steel moulds form the pulp into plates, bowls, trays and clamshells.

  4. 04

    Your table

    It carries hot, oily, saucy food — and your brand — from kitchen to customer.

  5. 05

    Back to soil

    Plant fibre is compostable: in industrial composting it breaks down in weeks to months.

Plastic vs bagasse — with sources

Be proud of what you hand over.

No vague green claims. Here is what the standards, the UN and India’s own rules actually say — and what happens to plant fibre after the meal.

Single-use plastic Bagasse
Made from Fossil-fuel polymers (PP, PET, PS) Sugarcane fibre left over after juice extraction
After use Some plastics can take up to 1,000 years to decompose, breaking into ever-smaller pieces Compostable plant fibre — weeks to months in industrial composting
Recycling reality Only around 9% of plastic is recycled worldwide Goes with organic waste where composting is available
Regulation in India Plastic plates, cups, glasses, cutlery, straws, trays and stirrers banned since 1 July 2022 Plant fibre, not plastic — outside the single-use plastic item ban
Hot & oily food Depends on the polymer — PP handles heat better than PET Widely used for hot, oily and wet food — confirm the spec per item

What “compostable” has to prove

Day 0

Into the compost

Used plant-fibre packaging goes in with food waste — no washing, no sorting by polymer.

India’s single-use plastic ban

Since 1 July 2022, these are gone.

The Plastic Waste Management Amendment Rules, 2021 prohibit the manufacture, import, stocking, distribution, sale and use of these single-use plastic items across India.

Our claims policy

What we will — and won’t — say.

We will

  • Name the material of every product
  • Link every environmental statistic to its source
  • Tell you when an item is plastic — and which plastic
  • Share the specification for your exact use

We won’t

  • Call something “certified compostable” without the certificate
  • Use vague words like “eco-safe” instead of facts
  • Promise breakdown times that depend on your local facilities
  • Hide plastic items inside an “eco” label
