TR4D Bagasse Tray — Eco-Friendly Sugarcane Fiber Food Tray

🌱 Introduction

As sustainability becomes a global priority, more foodservice brands are transitioning to packaging made from renewable, biodegradable materials. The DASHAN TR4D Bagasse Tray is part of DASHAN’s eco-friendly packaging series, designed to replace single-use plastic trays with high-performance, compostable solutions.

Made entirely from sugarcane bagasse, a by-product of sugar manufacturing, the TR4D tray represents a zero-waste approach to food packaging. It is plastic-free, toxin-free, and fully compostable, breaking down naturally within 90–180 days under industrial composting conditions.

What makes the TR4D unique is its deeper and wider design (242 × 179 × 28.5 mm) and horizontal anti-slip lines that enhance both aesthetic and functional performance. Its generous depth makes it perfect for serving rice dishes, pasta, sushi sets, or hearty meals—ideal for restaurants, cafeterias, and catering operations that value eco-conscious design without compromising usability.

✨ Key Features

🌍 1. 100% Biodegradable & Compostable

The TR4D tray is made from renewable sugarcane fiber, which naturally decomposes into organic compost within 3–6 months. It contains no plastic, bleach, or chemical coatings, making it safe for food contact and environmentally friendly from production to disposal.

💪 2. Strong & Durable Construction

Weighing 30 grams, the TR4D tray offers exceptional rigidity and load-bearing capacity. It can hold full meals—such as pasta, meat dishes, or sushi combinations—without bending, cracking, or leaking. Its strength makes it suitable for both dine-in and takeout use.

🍱 3. Deep Rectangular Design

With a depth of 28.5 mm, the TR4D provides more volume than most bagasse trays in its class. The horizontal inner lines help prevent food from sliding, improving stability during serving and transport. Its modern matte finish also enhances food presentation for professional plating.

🔥 4. Heat-Resistant & Microwave Safe

The TR4D tray is safe for use at temperatures up to 120°C, allowing reheating or serving of hot foods directly. It remains structurally stable in microwaves and ovens, releasing no toxic substances.

❄️ 5. Freezer Friendly & Moisture Resistant

With resistance down to -20°C, the TR4D is equally suited for frozen or chilled foods. Its natural oil and moisture resistance ensures meals remain fresh, crisp, and visually appealing during delivery and storage.

🧾 6. Food-Grade & Plastic-Free

Completely BPA-free, PFAS-free, and compliant with FDA, LFGB, and EN13432 standards, the TR4D guarantees safe direct contact with all food types—hot, cold, oily, or saucy.
