Introducing PFAS-Free Bagasse Packaging from Enviroware

Sustainability is no longer just a trend in the food industry — it’s quickly becoming an expectation. More customers are paying attention to the environmental impact of takeaway packaging, and businesses are increasingly looking for solutions that reduce waste without sacrificing quality.

That’s why we’re pleased to introduce our PFAS-free bagasse clamshells and chip trays from Enviroware — a smarter, more sustainable option for food service packaging.

These products combine the practicality and durability food businesses need with environmentally responsible materials, helping you serve great food while reducing your environmental footprint.

What Is Bagasse Packaging?

Bagasse is a natural fibre created as a by-product of sugarcane processing. After the sugarcane juice is extracted, the remaining pulp can be repurposed to produce strong, lightweight food packaging.

This plant-based material has become increasingly popular in the takeaway sector because it offers several key benefits:

• Strong and durable construction

• Excellent heat retention

• Natural resistance to oil and grease

• A more sustainable alternative to plastic or polystyrene

Bagasse packaging is ideal for hot food such as burgers, loaded fries, street food, and takeaway meals — making it a practical solution for cafés, restaurants, food trucks, and takeaways.

What Are PFAS?

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), often referred to as “forever chemicals,” are a group of man-made compounds that have historically been used in many industries.

In food packaging, PFAS were often added to materials like bagasse to make them more resistant to grease, oil, and moisture.

While these chemicals have traditionally been considered safe for food contact, the concern arises once the packaging is disposed of.

Why Are Businesses Moving Away from PFAS?

The problem with PFAS is that they do not break down naturally in the environment. When packaging containing these chemicals is thrown away, the substances can persist in soil and groundwater for many years.

As awareness of this issue grows, more food businesses are choosing packaging options that avoid these chemicals altogether.

Switching to PFAS-free packaging is a simple way for businesses to take a more environmentally responsible approach to their operations.
