Short answer
Are bagasse food containers good for takeaways?
Bagasse food containers, made from sugarcane fibre, are a good choice for many takeaways: they are rigid, handle hot and greasy food well and are made from a plant-based by-product. Choose clamshells for burgers and mains, and bowls or compartment containers for rice and curry dishes. Under new EU PPWR rules, ask for test documentation behind any PFAS-free claim — DORU can share an SGS test report for its bagasse tableware.
What bagasse is
Bagasse is the fibre left after sugarcane is pressed for juice. It is moulded into clamshells, bowls and plates that are sturdy and suit hot food.
Which bagasse formats to choose
- Clamshell boxes: burgers, kebabs, wraps and mains.
- Bowls and containers: rice, curry, pasta and salads.
- Compartment boxes: meal deals and combo plates.
PFAS and documentation
From 12 August 2026, PPWR limits PFAS in food-contact packaging placed on the EU market. Whatever market you serve, ask suppliers for test reports rather than relying on a logo.
