This research study presents a solution to combat plastic pollution by creating biodegradable tableware from bagasse, a byproduct of the sugar industry, as an eco-friendly alternative to conventional plastics. The purpose of the study is to establishing a technological manufacturing facility in India to produce tableware made of bagasse, showcasing its versatility and market viability. The optimal price, quality, and resources required for manufacturing bagasse-based biodegradable tableware were analyzed, aiming to replace Styrofoam in food packaging and tableware. The practical implications of this research include promoting lowcarbon economic solutions and contributing to reduce plastic waste. Moreover, the potential for widespread adoption of bagasse-based goods extends beyond tableware, presenting an opportunity for various industries both in India and globally to embrace sustainability. This research strives to pave the way for a greener and more sustainable future, revolutionizing packaging and tableware production through the adoption of biodegradable goods derived from bagasse.
Key words: Bagasse / Tableware / Eco-friendly / Low-Carbon / Sustainable
