“When we order food online, we don’t introspect the ways it needs to be packed. Apparently plastic usage is increasing in the food packaging industry. It is difficult to ensure the quality of food when it is exposed to plastic containers and plates. We at Saint Jo Innovations use 100% compostable sugarcane pulp for manufacturing food packaging products. These products can store any food items such as gravy, chutney, rice without any leakage; and also restaurants and catering services can parcel their food without losing the heat. We offer these food containers at a competitive price compared to the plastic products. Moreover, it is high time that food entrepreneurs respect society and nature,” told Saju George from saint jo innovations.

Being fully compostable and suitable for direct contact with food makes sugarcane bagasse as a suitable material for a wide range of applications. On average, India cultivates sugarcane in 4.9 million hectares. The raw material bagasse is the fiber that remains after sugarcane stalks are crushed for extracting juice. The wide range of packaging materials are made of Bagasse. They are durable and sturdy with a high heat tolerance while maintaining a natural feel and texture.
Saint Jo Innovations owns a manufacturing unit which helps them in meeting any specific innovative packaging needs of the customers such as paper bags, paper round box, paper square box, coir coco pots, coir mats, paper straw, paper ropes etc., with an international quality testing including FDA certifications. They are into break proof box manufacturing which can transport glass bottles safely while replacing plastic products. They are channel partners for CHUK and ZUME brand products.
The main attractive feature of these products are upcycling sugarcane bagasse for the packaging industry; and that can be easily turned into compost after usage.
