Bagasse: the future of ecological alternatives in the restaurant industry

A bio-based material with exceptional properties

Bagasse is a natural plant fiber that is rigid, light and heat-resistant. Unlike other so-called "ecological" materials such as corn starch (PLA), it does not meltdoes not stick, and can withstand temperatures of up to 90°C.
This makes it an ideal alternative for hot and cold drinks, but also for intensive food uses in hotels and restaurants.

Its advantages:

  1. 100% bio-based: from a recycled agricultural residue.
  2. Made in France: a local transformation to reduce the carbon footprint.
  3. High thermal resistance: perfect for all beverages.
  4. OK COMPOST HOME certified: biodegradable naturally, even at home.
  5. Does not deform in liquids, unlike paper.

 

A concrete alternative to plastic and paper

Since the ban on single-use plastic, many establishments have turned to paper or PLA straws. But these options quickly showed their limits: altered taste, unpleasant texture, degraded customer experience.
Bagasse, on the other hand, offers a natural and neutral sensation, without taste or odor, and a perfect hold over time.

This explains the growing success of bagasse straws and sugarcane fiber cutlery, which are now being adopted by cocktail bars, hotels and high-end restaurants looking for sustainable solutions... but aesthetic.

 

MOOM, an ecological circular economyCircular and responsible production

Bagasse is a perfect example of the principles of the circular economy:
instead of being burned or thrown away, this material from sugar production is recycled and transformed into new products.

Result:

  • second life given to an agricultural residue,
  • Reduced waste,
  • Low-carbon production when processed in France.

At Les Nouvelles Pailles, our commitment goes further: manufacturing is local, our products are labelled, and our packaging is recyclable. This global coherence is what appeals to brands, hotels and local authorities in their CSR approaches today.

A consistent choice for demanding professionals

Establishments that choose bagasse are not only looking for an ecological product.
They want a durable, high-quality product that reflects their establishment.
A Moom straw or cutlery is also a symbol of transparency and commitment, visible in every detail of the service.
And that's precisely what customers like the Ritz, SBM Monaco, or many French palaces are looking for: a product that is both elegant and effective with less impact.
