Sugar cane - bagasse products



Besides its use for fuel, bagasse has been made into particle board for
building construction applications in Hawaii. The fiber from bagasse has
also been tested and used, mostly outside the U.S., as an alternative to
wood pulp for newsprint, paper towels, decorative papers and other paper
products.
