As environmental consciousness rises, the demand for sustainable alternatives to plastic and styrofoam is at an all-time high. At Garvit Green, a leading manufacturer and exporter of MAPPLE LEAF bagasse products in India, we are committed to providing eco-friendly, 100% biodegradable, and compostable tableware made from sugarcane bagasse. But a common question we encounter is: Is bagasse tableware microwave-safe? Let’s debunk the myths and present the facts, so you can make informed, green choices for your kitchen and business.


Bagasse is the fibrous residue left after extracting juice from sugarcane. Traditionally considered a waste product, it is now recognized as a valuable, renewable resource for manufacturing disposable tableware. At Garvit Green, we transform this byproduct into sturdy, versatile, and environmentally friendly plates, bowls, trays, and containers.

  • 100% biodegradable and compostable

  • Made from renewable resources

  • Leaves no toxic or high-carbon residues

  • Durable, leakproof, and suitable for a range of cuisines

  • Free from harmful chemicals like BPA and phthalates.

Bagasse tableware is indeed microwave-safe. Multiple studies and industry sources confirm that bagasse products can withstand high temperatures without melting, warping, or releasing toxic chemicals. Specifically, bagasse tableware is resistant up to 200°F (93°C), and some products can even tolerate up to 220°F (104°C).

“Bagasse is temperature resistant up to 200°F (93°C) and does not melt or release toxic chemicals into food. It also makes it suitable for reheating food or warming foods directly in the microwave.”1


You can safely use Garvit Green’s MAPPLE LEAF bagasse plates, bowls, and containers to reheat food in the microwave. This convenience makes them an excellent choice for homes, restaurants, caterers, and takeaway services looking to combine sustainability with practicality.

:
Unlike plastic and styrofoam, which can leach toxic substances when exposed to heat, bagasse tableware is made from natural plant fibers and contains no synthetic additives. This ensures that no harmful chemicals are released into your food, even when microwaved.

“Sugarcane products are 100% food safe. While plastic and foam products are flimsy and can release toxic chemicals, sugarcane products are 100% food safe.”

At Garvit Green, we rigorously test every product to meet stringent quality and safety standards, so you can serve food with complete peace of mind.

:
Bagasse tableware is designed to be sturdy and leakproof, making it suitable for both solid and liquid foods, including soups, sauces, and greasy dishes. While it may not be as impermeable as plastic, it is more than adequate for most food service applications and does not compromise on performance.

:
Although bagasse tableware is designed for disposability and compostability, it is robust enough to be reused if not heavily soiled. You can wipe or wash and reuse plates and bowls multiple times, making them a flexible and sustainable option for various occasions.

To maximize the lifespan and safety of your bagasse tableware, keep these simple tips in mind:

  • : Bagasse products are ideal for reheating leftovers or warming food, not for prolonged cooking or baking.

  • : Do not microwave bagasse tableware for extended periods or at maximum power settings. Short bursts are best.

  • : Always follow specific recommendations provided by the manufacturer for optimal use3.

Choosing Garvit Green’s MAPPLE LEAF bagasse tableware is not just about convenience—it’s a step towards a greener planet.
