What are bagasse clamshell containers?

Bagasse clamshell containers are hinged takeaway boxes made from the fibre left over after sugarcane is processed for sugar. Because the material is a by-product, it is a renewable alternative to foam and plastic packaging. The built-in lid means no separate cover is needed, which suits restaurants, takeaway shops, caterers, cafés and commercial kitchens.
