Actually, sugarcane is considered a renewable resource. This kind of renewable resource can be regenerated in under 10 years. Generally, sugarcane can regrow completely between just 10 and 18 months, which makes it a greener option than paper and wood. As statistics showed, around 1.2 billion tons of sugarcane can be produced annually. From this, 100 million tons of bagasse are created each year. While some of this bagasse is burned as biofuel, much is discarded. Bagasse packaging production finds a new purpose for this agricultural byproduct that would otherwise have been disposed of reducing waste and supporting farmers.
