14D Bagasse Tray – Eco-Friendly Sugarcane Plate for Sustainable Food Packaging

Introduction

In today’s era of sustainability, the foodservice industry is shifting away from plastic packaging toward natural, renewable alternatives. The DASHAN 14D Bagasse Tray exemplifies this transition — a tray that merges eco-responsibility with reliability and modern aesthetics.

Made from sugarcane bagasse, a by-product of the sugar industry, this tray utilizes agricultural waste that would otherwise be discarded. By turning this renewable material into sturdy, compostable packaging, DASHAN provides a practical solution for reducing plastic waste and supporting a circular economy.

The 14D tray stands out in the DASHAN product lineup for its smooth, no-texture design. Unlike the anti-slip lined models (such as TR2D or TR4D), the 14D features a clean and flat interior surface, making it ideal for delicate food displays like pastries, salads, or desserts where presentation is key. Despite its small footprint, it maintains impressive strength and versatility.

Key Features

🌱 1. 100% Biodegradable & Compostable

Crafted from natural sugarcane fiber, the 14D tray decomposes within 90–180 days under industrial composting conditions. It returns to the soil as organic matter — leaving no plastic residue, no pollution, and no harm to ecosystems.

💪 2. Smooth Bottom Design (No Texture)

The flat base provides a clean, elegant look that highlights the natural appearance of food. It’s perfect for bakeries, cafés, and restaurants that want a premium presentation. The absence of interior lines makes cleaning, stacking, and serving easier.

⚖️ 3. Lightweight Yet Strong

Weighing only 17 grams, this compact tray can securely hold pastries, desserts, side dishes, and snacks without bending or collapsing. It maintains its shape under pressure, offering both lightness and durability.

🔥 4. Heat-Resistant & Microwave Safe

The 14D tray can withstand temperatures up to 120°C, making it suitable for microwave heating, hot meal service, and warm takeout items.

❄️ 5. Freezer Safe & Oil Resistant

It remains sturdy in temperatures as low as -20°C, resists moisture and grease, and prevents food seepage — ideal for both chilled and oily foods.

🧾 6. 100% Plastic-Free and Toxin-Free

The tray contains no plastic, PFAS, or bleaching agents, meeting international food safety standards (FDA, LFGB, EN13432). It ensures a safe, clean, and eco-friendly experience for consumers.
