Your Green Solution: Sugarcane

Filed under: Tableware — Administrator @ 7:27 am

When it comes to disposable tableware, go earth provides a 100 percent sugarcane pulp product line that is FDA approved and microwave safe which composts in 90 days.  Many of your inquiries have been about sugarcane: what exactly is this material go earth’s  to-go boxes, plates, cups are made of?  Well, for starters, you are not ingesting any sugar by using our tableware/to-go boxes. In fact ALL of the sugar is extracted from the sugarcane during the sugar refining process and the left over stock is used to weave together material that is sturdy and durable (yet completely natural, and biodegradable).  In order to explain this fascinating process, we are going to include a blog entry–feel free to comment, or ask questions!  To better convey that there are many earth-friendly materials available to produce your everyday disposable tableware, its time to choose to be enlightened consumers and good stewards of the environment.  Why cut down a tree when you can get something that looks just as good, if not better, and is durable and completely natural?  Furthermore, the sugarcane pulp products are a by-product of the sugar refining process…this means that the material is a) readily available since sugar is consistently being extracted from sugarcane b) the leftover.  So in essence, go earth has your green solution for disposable tableware.   Sugarcane pulp products reduce waste by using an existing leftover material from the sugar refining process; preserve trees by steering clear of it all together as a source to create commonly used products; and finally, when you toss them in your compost bin, you can rest assured that they will decompose in a very systematic manner.  You will not see the sugarcane product washing up on our beautiful beaches years from now because it will be used as compost for our gardens where we can plant healthy trees and maintain a healthy eco-system.  The sugarcane solution is a win-win!  Green has never been so sweet.
