Sugarcane provides a juice, which is used for making white sugar and jiggery and many by-products.

Bagasse is used as a fuel, for production of fiber board, papers plastic and furfural.

Paper Industry :

Uses – Pulp and paper production from sugarcane bagasse.

Used for four main paper categories - Packaging and boxes, Writing papers, tissues and newsprint.

Dissolving pulp are converted into pulps are converted into products such as rayon.

Sugar Industry :

Molasses comes into midway through the process of turning sugarcane into refined sugar.

remove impurities and boiled to evaporate water and create crystals.

Textile Industry :
The rise in demand for novel fibres has led to innovative ideas surging in textile industry. Sugarcane

Sugarcane is grown to extract sugar from its stalk. After the juice is extracted, the remaining
sugarcane fibre pulp is called bagasse.
