The Fiber

What Bagasse Is

Bagasse is the fiber left over after sugarcane is pressed. Sugarcane regrows in months, not decades — which is why bagasse is classified as a rapidly renewable fiber. SUSTAIN blends it with FSC-certified fibers to produce a packaging board with no virgin trees in the sheet.

“Today's consumer wants packaging that lines up with their health and wellness objectives. For too many years, consumer packaging has endured conflicting and confusing messaging around sustainability. With the launch of Sustain, brands can highlight their commitment to sustainability and the growing demand in the health and wellness movement.”
