Bagasse is the fibrous residue left after extracting juice from sugarcane. It is primarily composed of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin, making it a valuable byproduct in the sugar industry. Bagasse is often used as a biofuel, providing energy for sugar mills and other industries.
In addition to its use as fuel, bagasse can be processed into various products, such as paper, biodegradable packaging, and animal feed. Its high fiber content and renewable nature make it an eco-friendly alternative to traditional materials, contributing to sustainable practices in agriculture and manufacturing.
