Sugar Cane Paper Company Debuts New Products

by 09/22/08 No Comments

Sugar Cane Paper Company this month introduced its new bagasse-made napkins, toilet paper, tissue, and paper towels, according to QSR Magazine.

Bagasse is the fibrous residue left over in the sugar-making process. In addition to using it to make paper, some companies burn bagasse as fuel within the sugar mill.

Mark Harrison, president of Sugar Cane Paper Company, told QSR that the demand for recycled paper has grown by “light years” in the last five years, since more and more people are pursuing paper products made without trees.

“Treeless paper is the next big step in meeting consumer demand for preserving the world’s forest resources,” Harrison said.
