We make 100% sugarcane-bagasse compostable tableware across 11 product categories: round plates, square plates, compartment plates, bowls, cups & glasses, trays, meal trays, containers with lids, clamshells, cutlery (food-grade paper), and lids & accessories. Bagasse is the fibrous residue left after sugarcane is crushed for juice — an agricultural waste stream we mould into single-use tableware that returns to soil in 60–90 days. All serving products ship in plastic-free packaging (paper wrap + recyclable kraft carton, no shrink-wrap, no polybags), fully compliant with India's 1 July 2022 single-use-plastic ban. We serve six customer segments: 1. Eco-conscious metro households buying compostable plates, bowls and cutlery for daily use and parties 2. Wedding and event caterers needing bulk thali trays, plates and bowls 3. Cloud kitchens and QSR needing leakproof containers, meal trays and clamshells for delivery 4. Cafés and takeaway needing cups, clamshells and plates 5. Offices and institutional canteens needing meal trays and compartment plates 6. Festival and community-meal organisers needing thali, dona and bulk serveware There is no subscription model. Every order is a one-time purchase. The business runs two pricing tracks: a public D2C list, and a HORECA verified price list at a flat ~20% off D2C for businesses that apply with a valid GSTIN. --- ## Product catalogue 11 product categories. All moulded bagasse serving products are 100% sugarcane fibre — no wax, no plastic lining or film; PFAS-free per our manufacturers' test reports. HSN classification: 4823 at 18% GST for moulded bagasse tableware (plates, bowls, clamshells, meal trays, containers, cups, trays, lids). Paper cutlery may sit under a separate HSN per supplier classification; the final per-SKU HSN is surfaced as CA sign-off lands. Common technical profile across the catalogue: - Microwave-safe: up to 3 minutes at 700–1000 W (manufacturer specification) - Oil and water resistant (manufacturer specification) - Water resistance: leakproof containers rated for ~4-hour standing water with the matching bagasse lid - Compostable: our manufacturing partners hold BPI (ASTM D6868) and EN 13432 certification; typically about 90 days in commercial composting (manufacturer data), longer at home - Food contact: FDA 21 CFR §176.170; manufactured under ISO 22000 ### Round plates (HSN 4823) 6, 7, 9, 10, 11 and 12-inch compostable bagasse plates, including Deep variants for curry and biryani. GSM ranges from ~315 (6-inch dessert) to ~420 (12-inch heavy-duty / 10-inch family). The 9-inch standard dinner plate (≈220 mm dia, ≈13 g) is the household best-seller; the 12-inch heavy-duty is the cloud-kitchen and QSR workhorse. ### Square plates (HSN 4823) Square-format bagasse plates for cafés, modern plating and dessert/snack service. ### Compartment plates (HSN 4823) 3, 4 and 5-compartment partition plates plus the round multi-compartment thali plate — for canteen meals, thali service, school/office lunches and wedding buffets where dishes shouldn't mix. ### Bowls (HSN 4823) Compostable bagasse bowls from small dessert/chaat cups to ramen, curry and biryani bowls in a range of ml capacities. Most pair with a matching bagasse lid (see Lids & accessories) for delivery and storage. ### Cups & glasses (HSN 4823) Bagasse cups for hot and cold beverages — tea, coffee, lassi, juice. Matching sip and flat lids are listed under Lids & accessories. ### Trays (HSN 4823) Serving and food trays for buffets, counters and takeaway. ### Meal trays (HSN 4823) Segmented bento-style bagasse meal trays for cloud kitchens, institutional canteens and tiffin service — multiple compartment layouts to keep gravy, rice and dry items separate in delivery. ### Containers with lids (HSN 4823) Leakproof round and rectangular bagasse containers (typically 500 / 750 / 1000 ml) for gravy and curry delivery, with matching bagasse lids. Rated for ~1-hour standing oil and ~4-hour standing water sealed. ### Clamshells (HSN 4823) Hinged single- and multi-compartment clamshell boxes for burgers, meals and takeaway in QSR and cafés. ### Cutlery (food-grade paper — disclosed, not bagasse) Forks, spoons and knives in food-grade paper at ~800 GSM (paper from FSC-certified mills). Bagasse pulp doesn't mould reliably at the thin rigid cross-section of a fork tine, so cutlery uses laminated paper instead — still fully compostable, no plastic film. The material is disclosed clearly across the catalogue as an anti-greenwashing measure. ### Lids & accessories (HSN 4823) Matching bagasse lids for bowls, cups and containers, plus serving accessories. Lids are cross-sold on the relevant product pages via a compatibility map so buyers pick a sealing lid for their container. --- ## Cultural collections - Thali: compartment plates and meal trays curated for the traditional Indian thali — wedding catering, langar, festival feasts and canteen meals. /collections/thali/ - Dona: bagasse donas and small bowls for prasad, chaat, gol gappa and festival sweet distribution — replacing leaf-and-pin dona with a no-pin, fully compostable alternative. /collections/dona/ --- ## Buying and shipping **Orders are one-time purchases — no subscriptions.** Payment via Razorpay (UPI, all major cards, net banking, wallets). Cash on Delivery is available for orders under ₹1,500 in serviceable PIN codes. **D2C:** public list pricing; free shipping on orders ≥ ₹999 (GST inclusive). **HORECA wholesale:** self-serve, not a quote flow. A business applies at /wholesale/ with its GSTIN, which is verified against the GST portal for validity and trade-name match (typically 4–8 business hours, worst case 24h). On approval the account sees a flat ~20% off D2C list across all 11 categories, with free shipping on every order regardless of cart total and NET-15 invoice terms after the first clean cycle. No MOQ — the discount applies from order 1. Every invoice carries the buyer's GSTIN for input tax credit and is CGST Rule 46 compliant. Custom-printed bagasse with a buyer's logo is available for orders of 10,000+ pieces per artwork on a 3–4 week lead time. **Delivery:** pan-India via Shiprocket's multi-courier network. Bagasse isn't a dangerous good (no UN class), so air-courier is eligible. Typical windows: 2–4 business days to metros (Bengaluru, Mumbai, Delhi NCR, Pune, Hyderabad, Chennai, Ahmedabad), 4–6 days to tier-2 cities, 5–8 days to tier-3 and rural PIN codes, 6–10 days to remote regions (North-East, J&K, Ladakh, A&N Islands, Lakshadweep). **Returns:** 7 days from delivery for unopened, undamaged packs — full refund to the original payment method within 5–7 business days of pickup. Damaged-in-transit, defective and wrong-item returns are refunded or replaced immediately. Custom-printed HORECA orders aren't returnable. --- ## Sustainability **Why bagasse.** Bagasse is the fibre left after sugarcane is crushed for juice. India crushes ~370 million tonnes of cane a year and produces ~100 million tonnes of bagasse, historically burned to fuel sugar mills. Moulding it into tableware upcycles a waste stream into a compostable single-use product — no trees felled, no fresh land, no fossil-based plastic. **Vs the alternatives:** - Vs PE-coated paper plates: PE-coated paper has a thin polyethylene film for oil resistance that persists as microplastic and isn't accepted in most Indian MRFs; many also use PFAS. Bagasse is single-material sugarcane fibre — no lining, no film, no PFAS. - Vs plastic/thermocol: banned for most single-use formats in India since 1 July 2022; bagasse is a compliant compostable replacement. - Vs areca-leaf plates: areca is culturally authentic but scale-limited (seasonal, hand-stitched, cottage production); bagasse moulds to any shape and scales to cloud-kitchen volume. **Per-product impact coefficients** (grams of plastic displaced, litres of water saved vs virgin pulp, kg CO₂ avoided) are stored in product metadata and summed across real completed orders into the homepage live impact counter — not marketing estimates. Methodology is published at /sustainability/#methodology. **Certifications (held by our manufacturing partners, not by PulpyWare; vary by manufacturer and product line):** - BPI compostability (ASTM D6868) and EN 13432 - FDA 21 CFR §176.170 food contact; ISO 22000 manufacturing - PFAS-free per our manufacturers' test reports (PulpyWare does no lab testing of its own); copies requested from the manufacturer on request - Plastic-free packaging (paper wrap + recyclable kraft carton) - Single-use-plastic-ban compliant (India, 1 July 2022) **Anti-greenwashing discipline:** every percentage claim is sourced; the paper cutlery's material is disclosed rather than marketed as "bagasse cutlery"; certifications are held by our manufacturing partners, not by PulpyWare. --- ## Tax and compliance - Moulded bagasse tableware: HSN 4823 at 18% GST (confirmed for moulded sugarcane-pulp serving products).
