What Are Bagasse Clamshell Containers?
Made from Natural Sugarcane Bagasse
Our clamshell containers are molded from 100% renewable sugarcane bagasse pulp, a by-product of the sugar industry that would otherwise be burned or discarded. Through advanced molded fiber technology, this agricultural waste is transformed into durable, functional, and fully compostable packaging.
Bagasse clamshells are completely free from plastics, PFAS, and harmful coatings — ensuring that once used, they can return safely to the soil instead of ending up in landfills.

Environmental Benefits
100% Compostable and Plastic-Free
Our containers are different from plastic or foam ones. MANA ECO bagasse clamshells break down in composting facilities. They turn into safe soil. They do not leave harmful chemicals. This process helps stop plastic waste. It also helps your company meet its green goals.
Renewable Material with Low Environmental Footprint
Bagasse grows back very fast. It is a very good material for food boxes. We use this leftover part from making sugar. This means we need less oil. It also means less waste from sugar factories. This helps the idea of using things again and again.

Why Choose MANA ECO Clamshells?
Quality Manufacturing by ZX Packing
MANA ECO clamshells are produced in partnership with ZX Packing, a leading manufacturer with advanced molded fiber systems and rigorous quality controls. Every product meets global standards for food safety and environmental performance.
Customizable Options for Brands
We offer both standard designs and OEM/ODM customization — including custom molds, logo printing and branded packaging — helping your business stand out while reinforcing sustainability commitment.
Custom Logo Embossing on Clamshell Lids
MANA ECO also offers custom logo embossing on clamshell lids. This lets brands turn everyday packaging into a smart marketing tool. Your logo is pressed directly into the lid during manufacturing. No ink, no extra coatings, and no added materials are used. This keeps the packaging 100% compostable.
This embossed branding does two things. First, it makes your brand more visible when customers see or receive their order. Second, it sends a clear message about sustainability. It shows customers the packaging was designed with care, not just made from generic plastic.
For food trucks, restaurants, and takeout brands, logo-embossed clamshells help create a more professional look. They do this while still matching your commitment to being eco-friendly.
