National sales manager, David Martin, said: ‘We’ve stayed ahead of the trend for environmentally friendly and alternative products in recent years, and we’re keen for this to continue.

‘The increase in sales of our bagasse offering reflects the growing demand for high quality, sustainable items that are sturdy enough to hold and protect hot snacks and meals to the end user’s .

‘We’re aware the market is currently being driven by a demand for greener products but we’re also mindful that our customers appreciate affordable quality and the full range of options, including biodegradable products. The bagasse range sits alongside our wood and cornstarch offerings to give the most varied choice.’
