Sugarcane pulp is an innovative, natural raw material that is rapidly renewable and sustainably sourced.

Sugarcane pulp is an innovative raw material that is rapidly renewable and sustainably sourced. Some of the benefits of sugarcane pulp include:

  • Sustainable, natural and rapidly renewable resource
  • Using sugarcane pulp rather than virgin wood protects forests (which are endangered through harvesting)
  • Sugarcane pulp is more environmentally friendly than plastic because atmospheric CO2 is sequestered by the sugarcane plants
  • Only 1.5 tonnes of sugarcane pulp is required to produce 1 tonne of paper pulp versus 5 tonnes of wood needed to produce 1 tonne of paper pulp
  • Sugarcane pulp packaging production requires fewer toxic chemicals than packaging made from virgin material, such as wood
  • Sugarcane pulp can make a side-trip from the cycle of life to serve as paper, then re-enter the cycle as compost to nourish new crops
