  • Sustainable dinnerware and cutlery.
    Empress Earth Bagasse products utilize what would commonly be a waste product from sugar production to make a wide variety of sustainable products. They are 100% compostable, bio-based and made using a plant starch material, therefore reducing the amount of plastic used. Utensils are also recyclable. MultiPlast bio-enhanced dinnerware and cutlery products are made with sustainable, source-reducing additives to increase degradability and vastly reduce the time they remain on the earth.
  • Sugarcane-based tissue, towel and napkins.
    With the papermaking technology employed in manufacturing Nova2, the sugar production waste is mixed with bamboo and eucalyptus pulp and turned into forest-preserving paper products. Nova2 napkins are USDA Bio-Preferred Certified and boast a LEED certification score of 5.
