The EATware fibre products are made from the fibres of renewable plants with short life cycles, such as sugarcane and bamboo, mixed with starch and water with no chemical additives.  These products have no plastic or wax coating and are a far superior alternative to polystyrene, plastic and paper products.

The EATware products are biodegradable and compostable.  These products will usually biodegrade within 30 days in a commercial composting facility and 90 days in a home composting system.

All EATware products are unbleached.

Properties:

• suitable for hot and cold food
• microwave safe
• heat stable (instant noodles can be prepared and kept hot for at least ½ hour)
• suitable for refrigeration (wet foods up to 3 days)
• suitable for freezer (dry foods up to 3 months)
• biodegradable
• compostable to European EN 13432 standards
• comply with US FDA specifications (US FDA 21 CFR 176.170, US FDA 21 CFR 178.3800)
• comply with Quality Environmental and Food Safety Management System Compliance (ISO 9001:200, ISO 14001:2004 and HACCP)

Sugarcane fibre products are made from bagasse, the pulp material remaining after the extraction of the sugar-bearing juice from sugarcane.   This fibre by-product can be turned into products normally made from plastic or paper and avoids the pollution from the normal burning of sugarcane pulp after juice extraction.  Sugarcane is a readily renewable resource.

These products have no plastic or wax coating and are a far superior alternative to polystyrene, plastic and paper products.

The sugarcane fibre products are biodegradable and compostable.  These products will usually biodegrade within 30 days in a commercial composting facility and 90 days in a home composting system.

Our preference is to carry unbleached products (a natural light brown colour) where possible and we are moving towards this as more product lines become available.  However, some product lines are only available bleached (white).
