Why products made from sugarcane or sustainable wood should be on your menu.

Australian and New Zealand consumers are becoming more conscious of living sustainably, and food businesses, in turn, need to respond accordingly.

Enter Sustain’s range of sugarcane plates and bowls, and wooden cutlery and stirrers made from sustainably sourced birchwood, which not only look good but will help win you brownie points from green-minded customers.

Sugarcane pulp is known as bagasse – it’s the fibrous residue that’s left over when the cane has been crushed and the sugar extracted. It’s the ecologically friendly alternative to paper products, as it’s the by-product of a renewable resource, thereby reducing the commercialisation of our precious forests.

The green credentials of the plates and bowls are impeccable, but there’s more – products made from bagasse are strong and water-resistant.

Sustain’s wooden cutlery and stirrers range is equally eco-friendly, being made from birchwood that has been sustainably sourced. The cutlery looks stylish and natural, and has a light beeswax coating, which improves the user experience. The wooden stirrers aren’t coated.

Like their plate and bowl cousins, both the cutlery and stirrers are compostable under commercial conditions. www.shop.bunzl.com.au/sustain
