When sugarcane is processed to make sugar, all the valuable liquid is squeezed out leaving the fibres of the plant as a byproduct. We take these fibres, also known as bagasse, and make them into paper and cardboard packaging. This is the lowest carbon option for its disposal. The other options are to leave the sugarcane waste to rot, burn it in the open, burn it for energy, or send it to landfill - all of which generate methane and other greenhouse gases.
