Compostable Sugarcane Bagasse Forks (1000 pcs)

The Lumapack Compostable Sugarcane Bagasse Fork is a plastic-free, plant-based disposable fork designed for professional foodservice, catering, and event use. Manufactured from sugarcane fibre (bagasse) — a renewable agricultural by-product of sugarcane processing — each fork measures 151 mm in length and is supplied in cases of 1,000 pieces (SKU: LP52101).

Bagasse forks are suitable for both hot and cold food applications under standard foodservice conditions. They are heat-resistant at normal meal temperatures, hold their shape during service, and offer a practical, compostable alternative to single-use plastic cutlery for operators looking to reduce their plastic packaging footprint.

As an industrially compostable product, bagasse forks break down in industrial composting facilities within 90–180 days, leaving no harmful residue. They contain no BPA, no PFAS-added coatings, and no plastic film or liner, making them suitable for direct food contact under UK market requirements.

Typical foodservice uses for Compostable Sugarcane Bagasse Forks

Bagasse forks are selected by foodservice operators as a compostable, plastic-free alternative to conventional single-use plastic cutlery. Common applications include:

• Takeaway and delivery operations — restaurants, cloud kitchens, and meal-prep services where cutlery is included with packaged meals for end customers. The fork's rigidity and heat resistance make it suitable for inclusion with hot meal containers as well as cold prepared food orders.
• Events and outdoor catering — festivals, corporate events, weddings, and outdoor catering where reusable cutlery is not practical and a compostable alternative is required. Bagasse forks support operators managing sustainability commitments or working with venues that require compostable serviceware.
• Café and deli counter service — counters serving hot meals, grain bowls, salads, or cold prepared food where a plant-based fork is required alongside compostable packaging.
• Institutional catering — workplace, school, hospital, and contract catering environments where compostable cutlery is part of a broader sustainability or single-use plastics reduction programme.
• Street food and market catering — operators serving food at markets and street food events where lightweight, compostable cutlery is distributed alongside packaging at point of service.

The 1,000-piece case format is suited to commercial kitchen operations requiring consistent replenishment of cutlery stock alongside other bagasse packaging products.

Operational benefits of Compostable Sugarcane Bagasse Forks for takeaway and catering

• Plastic-free construction for operators reducing single-use plastic: Bagasse forks contain no plastic. For operators managing commitments under the UK single-use plastics legislation or working with venues and clients that require plastic-free packaging, bagasse forks provide a compliant, compostable alternative to conventional plastic cutlery without requiring a switch to wood or CPLA alternatives.
• Suitable for hot and cold food: The sugarcane fibre construction is heat-resistant at normal meal temperatures, meaning the same fork can be used across hot takeaway meals, cold salads, grain bowls, and room-temperature catering applications — reducing the need for separate SKUs for different meal types.
• Industrially compostable at end of life: Where industrial composting facilities are available, bagasse forks can be composted alongside bagasse food packaging, simplifying waste stream management for operators running fully compostable serviceware setups.
• High-volume case format for commercial operations: Supplied in cases of 1,000 pieces, the fork is suited to busy kitchen environments where consistent, high-volume cutlery stock is required. The case format aligns with standard commercial ordering patterns for takeaway and delivery operations.
• Consistent sizing and material for serviceware coordination: At 151 mm in length, the fork coordinates with Lumapack's bagasse spoons and knives, allowing operators to source a matched compostable cutlery set from a single supplier and maintain consistent presentation across all cutlery included with packaged food orders.

What sets Lumapack Compostable Sugarcane Bagasse Forks apart

Compared with standard wood cutlery, CPLA-coated cutlery, and conventional plastic forks, the Lumapack bagasse fork offers a plant-based material profile with practical foodservice performance:

Plastic-free, plant-based construction

Unlike CPLA cutlery — which uses a polylactic acid coating — bagasse forks are produced entirely from sugarcane fibre with no plastic content. The full fork is industrially compostable and contains no PFAS-added coatings. This makes it suitable for operators requiring a fully plastic-free cutlery option for inclusion with compostable packaging.

Heat-resistant for hot and cold food applications

Bagasse forks are heat-resistant at normal meal temperatures, making them suitable for use with hot takeaway meals, warm catering dishes, and cold prepared food — without the risk of deformation associated with some PLA cutlery at elevated temperatures.

Coordinates with Lumapack's full bagasse cutlery range

The fork is available alongside Lumapack's compostable bagasse spoons and knives, as well as BioCane Oriental Spoons, allowing operators to source a matched, consistent compostable cutlery set from a single supplier. This simplifies procurement and ensures consistent presentation across all cutlery included with packaged food orders.

Compostable alongside bagasse food packaging

For operators already using Lumapack's bagasse clamshell boxes, plates, bowls, or trays, bagasse forks can enter the same industrial composting waste stream, reducing complexity for operations running a fully compostable serviceware setup.

Competitive pricing for commercial operations

Lumapack positions the bagasse fork competitively against comparable compostable cutlery options from UK foodservice packaging suppliers. Volume pricing is available for regular ordering requirements.
