Sugarcane Bagasse Cup Lids
Our factory, located in north China, specializes in producing eco-friendly materials, with sugarcane bagasse cup lids being one of our flagship products. As global awareness of environmental protection increases, more foreign companies are seeking sustainable alternatives to traditional plastic products. Recently, GreenEco GmbH, an eco-friendly tableware company headquartered in Germany, contacted us via email expressing strong interest in our sugarcane bagasse cup lids.
Initial Contact
In March 2023, our sales department received an email from GreenEco GmbH. In the email, they mentioned learning about our sugarcane bagasse cup lids at an environmental exhibition and considered them to be promising eco-friendly products. GreenEco GmbH wanted to learn more about our products, including detailed specifications, environmental certifications, production capacity, and pricing.
Product Information and Sample Provision
After receiving the email, our sales manager, Mr. Li, promptly replied with detailed information about the sugarcane bagasse cup lids, including:
Material: Sugarcane bagasse fiber

We also provided ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certification certificates to demonstrate that our product quality and environmental management systems meet international standards. Mr. Li also suggested sending samples for GreenEco GmbH to test and evaluate.
Sample Testing and Feedback
A month later, we received feedback from GreenEco GmbH. After testing, they were very satisfied with the quality and performance of our sugarcane bagasse cup lids, particularly their stability in hot beverages and biodegradability.
