Introduction
As the foodservice industry continues to embrace sustainability, Bioleader® is leading the way with our eco-friendly packaging solutions made from sugarcane bagasse. Our biodegradable tableware products, including clamshell containers, bowls, cups, and plates, provide an environmentally responsible alternative to traditional plastic. But how well do these products perform under real-world conditions?
In this blog, we’ll walk you through our comprehensive testing of Bioleader®’s bagasse tableware for high-temperature endurance, water resistance, and oil resistance. We’ll also share detailed data, test results, and visual demonstrations to show how our products perform when subjected to extreme conditions, making them an excellent choice for businesses committed to sustainability without sacrificing performance.
The Importance of High-Temperature, Waterproof, and Oil-Resistant Testing
To fully assess the reliability of foodservice packaging, it’s crucial to test how well it performs under common conditions faced by restaurants and takeout services. High temperatures, wet foods, and greasy items are standard in the foodservice industry, which is why testing packaging materials like bagasse for heat resistance, moisture retention, and oil resistance is essential.
High-Temperature Endurance: This test simulates the conditions that occur when bagasse containers come into contact with hot foods or are reheated in a microwave. It ensures that the containers don’t deform or release harmful chemicals.
Water Resistance: This test simulates exposure to liquids like soups, sauces, and beverages. It ensures that the containers can contain wet foods without leaking or degrading.
Oil Resistance: Many takeaway foods, such as fried items, are greasy. Testing for oil resistance ensures that bagasse packaging won’t degrade when exposed to oil and other greasy substances.
Bioleader® Bagasse Tableware: Product Overview
Bioleader® produces a wide range of high-performance biodegradable products made from sugarcane bagasse, including:
Bagase Cups
All of our products are designed to withstand high temperatures, resist moisture and oil, and maintain their structural integrity in various foodservice applications. Bioleader® is committed to offering sustainable alternatives that do not compromise on quality or performance.
Testing Methodology
In order to evaluate the high-temperature, waterproof, and oil-resistant properties of Bioleader® bagasse products, we subjected the products to rigorous testing under controlled conditions:
Test Duration: 2 hours
Test Procedure:
Step 1: We filled each container (clamshell, bowl, etc.) with 100°C hot water and added oil and soy sauce to simulate the conditions encountered during food service.
Step 2: Each container was sealed with its lid to simulate the packaging process of takeaway and delivery services.
Step 3: We allowed the containers to sit undisturbed for 2 hours.
Step 4: After 2 hours, we examined the containers for deformation, leakage, and resistance to oil and moisture.
Test Results and Detailed Performance Analysis

After conducting the tests on 2026-1-13, we analyzed the results in the following areas: high-temperature endurance, water resistance, and oil resistance. Below are the detailed results of each test:
| Product | Temperature Resistance (°C) | Water Resistance | Oil Resistance | Observations |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bagasse Clamshell Container | 100°C (slight softening) | No leakage | No oil seepage | Softening observed at edges, but no structural damage. |
| Bagasse Food Box (with lid) | 100°C (slight softening) | No leakage | No oil seepage | Retained shape and structure; no oil or water penetration. |
| Bagasse Bowl (without lid) | 100°C (slight softening) | No leakage | No oil seepage | Minimal softening, no leaks or oil seepage. |
| Bagasse Bowl (with lid) | 100°C (slight softening) | No leakage | No oil seepage | Lid remained intact, no degradation or leakage. |
| Bagasse Cup | 100°C (slight softening) | No leakage | No oil seepage | Good heat resistance; no issues with water or oil. |
| bagasse Tray with Lid | 100°C (slight softening) | No leakage | No oil seepage | Slight softening on edges, but structurally sound. |
| Bagasse Plate | 100°C (slight softening) | No leakage | No oil seepage | No leaks or oil penetration, minimal softening. |
Key Findings:
High-Temperature Resistance: All Bioleader® products displayed slight softening at the edges after exposure to 100°C hot water. However, this softening did not interfere with their usability. All products maintained their shape and did not release any harmful substances, confirming that Bioleader® bagasse products are safe for hot food applications.
Water Resistance: All products showed no leakage or water penetration, even after being submerged in liquids like soy sauce and water. The material remained intact, making it suitable for containing soups, sauces, and other wet foods.
Oil Resistance: Bioleader® products excelled in the oil resistance test. There was no oil seepage or degradation, even when exposed to greasy foods like fried items. This makes our products ideal for containing oily foods without compromising the packaging’s integrity.
