Bagasse Packaging Wholesale

Bagasse Packaging Wholesale for UK Caterers

Ascot Wholesale supplies bagasse packaging wholesale made from sugarcane fibre – the by-product left over once the juice has been pressed out. It’s a genuinely compostable, tree-free alternative to plastic and polystyrene, and it’s why so many UK caterers have switched over in the last few years.

Our range covers plates, bowls, clamshells and food containers in sizes to suit everything from a market stall to a full restaurant kitchen. Stock is held in the UK and ready to ship on trade accounts.

Why Choose Bagasse Packaging

Bagasse breaks down in industrial composting facilities within weeks, not centuries, and it’s fully home compostable too – no plastic lining, no microplastics left behind.

It also handles heat properly. Unlike thin paper or flimsy foam, bagasse food containers stay rigid with hot, greasy or oily food and won’t go soggy or collapse mid-service. That’s the whole point of it – it looks and performs like plastic, without the guilt or the landfill bill.
