Bagasse Tableware Exporter from India to France

Pulpcraft supplies French importers, foodservice distributors and packaging brands with sugarcane bagasse tableware from India, shipped to Le Havre, Fos and Dunkirk. France runs some of Europe’s most aggressive anti-waste legislation, so French buyers need genuine plastic-free, compostable fibre with solid standards behind it, which is what we ship.

Market compliance

What French buyers need: AGEC law and EN 13432

France’s AGEC anti-waste law (loi anti-gaspillage pour une économie circulaire) has phased out a wide range of single-use plastic items, going further than the baseline EU Single-Use Plastics Directive. Bagasse is a plastic-free fibre replacement that fits this direction. For compostability, French buyers reference EN 13432 for industrial composting and NF T51-800 for home composting. We align our products and documentation to these standards for the French market.

  • Plastic-free fibre consistent with France’s AGEC anti-waste law and the EU SUP Directive
  • Compostability to EN 13432 (industrial) and referenceable to NF T51-800 (home)
  • Food-safe sugarcane fibre with SGS testing
  • HS code 4823.70; EU duty and French VAT confirmed by your customs agent

Who we supply

Trusted by France buyers

French foodservice and retail buyers focus on plates, bowls and compartment trays with credible compostability for the AGEC context; we standardise on those formats.

Why source from India

Factory-direct, at scale

India is one of the world’s largest sugarcane producers, giving a steady, low-cost bagasse supply. As one of the largest bagasse tableware exporters in India, Pulpcraft combines that raw-material advantage with certified manufacturing and full export handling, so France buyers get competitive factory-direct pricing without sacrificing compliance.
