Sugarcane is valued around the world for its use as a sugar-producing plant, but it is finding a new life as the foundation of sugarcane plates. Sugarcane plates are one of the leading alternatives to plastic plates used in the restaurant industry. When used in the right way, they can be a viable alternative to plastic and other options that provides a host of environmentally-friendly benefits. Here are some of the best uses for sugarcane plates.
Food Festival Plate
One of the best uses of sugarcane plates is as small entree dishes at food festivals or for food trucks. In most cases, portable food stands like food trucks or festival stands need smaller plates that are still sturdy and reliable. The sugarcane that makes up the plate holds its shape well and is resistant to moisture and cuts. So, it will fit a variety of festivals and food truck entree needs.
Dessert Dishes
Sugarcane plates also make good dessert plates. You can use sugarcane plates to store or serve desserts since they hold up in a wide range of temperatures. Sugarcane is also liquid-resistant, so it won’t break down under moist desserts. The elegant white finish of sugarcane plates also helps create a more appealing display when they are used as serving dishes. You can use them as a central part of your catering or restaurant service designs.
Eco-Friendly Replacement
Sugarcane plates have one feature that makes them universally useful. Sugarcane is biodegradable and will break down naturally in a landfill without leaking dangerous chemicals. This makes them a better option than other plate alternatives, as they are more elegant and stable than regular paper plates. With so many plates in use, they are filling up a sizable portion of landfills. Switching to sugarcane plates will help reduce the plate’s impact on the environment.
