States such as Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, Maharashtra, and Rajasthan-leaders in sugarcane production-are ensuring a steady supply of raw materials for the manufacture of bagasse-based tableware. This regional advantage has positioned these states at the heart of India's eco-friendly revolution.
Somaiya highlighted how bagasse products, especially plates and bowls, have gained popularity due to their versatile applications in the food service industry, restaurants, and large-scale events.

Q: Can you share your journey and experiences in the bagasse tableware sector?
Ajay Somaiya: The journey has been both challenging and rewarding. Initially, the market lacked awareness and acceptance, with doubts over bagasse products' durability and hygiene. However, we overcame this by educating consumers, highlighting the benefits of bagasse, and collaborating with businesses. This resulted in increasing traction, positioning Quit Plastic as a market leader in eco-friendly disposables.
Q: What motivated you to enter the bagasse tableware industry?
Ajay Somaiya: The alarming levels of plastic waste affecting our environment were the driving force. The idea of replacing harmful single-use plastics with natural, sustainable alternatives like bagasse was deeply motivating. Our mission is to contribute to a cleaner, greener India.
Q: What is driving the adoption of bagasse tableware in India?
Ajay Somaiya: The primary drivers include growing environmental awareness, government regulations banning single-use plastics, and the practical and cost-effective nature of bagasse-based tableware. Businesses are increasingly moving towards sustainable solutions to meet these demands.
Q: What challenges do manufacturers face in the domestic market?
Ajay Somaiya: The key challenges include:
• Price sensitivity: Bagasse products are slightly more expensive than traditional plastics.
• Competition: Entrenched plastic and paper products remain a significant hurdle.
• Infrastructure: The composting infrastructure needed for bagasse disposal is still developing in many regions.
Q: How does Quit Plastic differentiate itself in this competitive market?
Ajay Somaiya: We focus on premium quality, innovative product designs, and a strong commitment to sustainability. Our marketing campaigns, industry collaborations, and participation in events help us maintain a leading position.
Q: Will biodegradable tableware replace plastic and paper disposables in the future?
Ajay Somaiya: Absolutely. As regulations tighten and consumer preferences shift, we believe biodegradable tableware like bagasse will become the industry standard, replacing both plastic and paper disposables.
Q: Can you share any additional trends or innovations in sustainable tableware?
Ajay Somaiya: Emerging trends include:
• Customization: Brands are offering tailored tableware for specific events.
• Microbial coating innovations: These enhance the biodegradability of bagasse products.
• Circular economy: The movement towards recycling bagasse waste into new products is gaining momentum.
► Challenges and Innovations Shaping the Market
While Quit Plastic continues to lead the industry, challenges such as cost sensitivity and a lack of infrastructure for composting bagasse waste persist. However, Somaiya believes the long-term environmental benefits of biodegradable tableware far outweigh these challenges, with consumers increasingly recognizing its value.
Through innovations such as customizable product designs and microbial coatings, Quit Plastic is setting new benchmarks in the eco-friendly market. The company's efforts have been recognized with prestigious accolades, including the Excellence in Agri Food Innovation Award 2024 and being named one of the 10 Best Eco-Friendly Startups of 2023 by Silicon India.
► The Future of India's Sustainable Tableware Market
Somaiya envisions a future where biodegradable alternatives completely replace plastic disposables. With Quit Plastic's plans to expand into international markets such as North America, Europe, and the Middle East, the company is poised to play a significant role in India's and the world's green transformation.
