Biodegradable food service disposables are eco-friendly alternatives to plastic and paper disposables. They are produced from naturally occurring raw materials like sugarcane fiber or bagasse, corn starch, areca nut sheaths, dried leaves of the palm tree and coconut coir. These disposables are gaining popularity in Latin America as they help reduce the buildup of waste, thereby contributing to a cleaner, safer and healthier environment. Biodegradable disposables are utilized across various fast-food restaurants due to their compostable nature, which releases valuable nutrients into the soil to make it fertile.
