Bagasse, a fibrous residue from sugarcane processing, is being explored as an eco-friendly alternative to plastics. However, concerns about the safety of using bagasse products for eating and drinking have arisen due to potential chemical leaching when exposed to hot and wet conditions.

New Zealand Implements Ban on Single-Use Plastics, Including Bags, Cutlery, and Straws
New Zealand has implemented a ban on single-use plastics, including bags, cutlery, and straws, as part of its ongoing efforts to reduce plastic waste. The ban, which came into effect on July 1st, aims to minimize the environmental impact of these disposable items. Violators may face fines of up to NZD 100,000. This marks the third phase of New Zealand's phased approach to limiting single-use plastics, with the country becoming the first to include single-use plastic food bags in the ban. The government has noted a significant reduction in plastic bag waste since the initial ban in 2019. The next phase of the ban, scheduled for mid-2025, will target polyvinyl chloride and polystyrene food and beverage packaging. The move reflects New Zealand's commitment to environmental sustainability and responsible waste management.
