How interesting is this? They actually make biodegradable paper plates from bagasse! Well, this is interesting enough for me because I grew up around bagasse, when my family lived in a compound around a sugar mill. Bagasse is the leftover sugarcane fiber after all the juice has been pressed out of the cane stalks. Aside from being used as fuel for the mill’s furnaces, it’s apparently gaining value outside of the mills, for household items like this paper plate.

The one above is from Worldcentric.org, which has many earth-friendly products. Yay to bagasse! We’re going camping soon. I hope we can find bagasse plates. Teehee.

EDIT: I just realized that BAGASSE sounds funny. Ahaha.
