To make ecofriendly disposable bowls, the process starts with the process of bagasse. The material arrives at the manufacturing facility and is processed into wet pulp. The wet pulp is then converted to dry pulp blocks after processing to remove all the impurities. Ecoware takes the extra step to remove the impurities and convert the wet pulp to dry pulp board in order to make higher quality products.

After the wet pulp is pressed into dry pulp board, the substance is mixed with an anti-oil and anti-water agent to make the substance strong and water proof. Once all the materials are blended, the mixture is send through the molding machines. As the mixture passes through the molding machines, it is instantaneously press into the shape of a bowl or other tableware.

The finished bowls and plates are then tested for heat, oils and water resistance. Only after the bowls and plates pass those tests can they be packaged and delivered to customers. These biodegradable paper bowls and plates are ideal for use in picnics, cafeterias, fast food restaurants or any time there is a need for disposable tableware.
