Now after the success of their Good Morning Combo meal in 2021, they have decided to expand their offerings with the all new Iya Basira Jolli Jollof Combo which includes Party Jollof, Coslow and Fried Chicken.
Currently, most of the food industry in Nigeria use traditional packaging materials which includes:
Non-biodegradable plastic products such as plastic plates, plastic cups, cutlery, plastic bags, Styrofoam plates, and many more which can take up to 450 to 500 years to decompose.
While these materials are functional, they have raised a lot of environmental concerns and have led to a large rate of customer dissatisfaction.
Food Packaging Accounts for the biggest growing sector within the synthetic plastic plastic packaging market domain and the usage of non biodegradable and non compostable materials for the various packaging application have caused a lot of environmental pollution across the country. Sustainable packaging is a vital commitment for any modern food establishment. Its more than a trend, it is responsible business practice.
The goal of this Research was to explore the kinds of packaging that is currently used, and to develop concepts for a more ecological and sustainable packaging option for their new arrival
Sugarcane fiber, known as bagasse, is the leftover fibrous part of the sugarcane stalk after juice extraction. It's typically discarded or burned for fuel at sugar mills.
Transforming bagasse into various products, including paper, packaging, cups, and bowls, provides a sustainable use for this renewable, non-edible byproduct of food production.
Producing sugarcane fiber is a simple process:
1.Juice is extracted from harvested sugarcane, leaving behind only bagasse fibers.
2. These fibers are blended with water to create a pulp.
3. Pressure and heat are applied to shape the pulp into various products.
Sugarcane fiber offers significant environmental benefits. Unlike traditional paper packaging that rely on cutting down millions of trees and use fossil fuel-derived coatings, sugarcane fiber products are more sustainable. They break down faster in landfills, and by reducing the demand for wood, they help combat deforestation, biodiversity loss, water pollution, and greenhouse gas emissions.
Sugarcane fiber products offer an affordable and versatile alternative to foam and paper packaging. They are heat-resistant (up to 200°F), grease and water-resistant, durable, freezer-safe, and provide excellent insulation for maintaining internal temperatures, which makes it the perfect solution for Iya Basira’s Packaging
Iya Basira's packaging includes carrying bags made from cornstarch, which are biodegradable and environmentally friendly. These bags are produced from cornstarch-based bioplastics, which are created by extracting starch from corn kernels and then processing it into a polymer.
The environmental benefits of these bags are significant, as they decompose naturally, reducing plastic waste and environmental pollution.
They are a sustainable choice that aligns with Iya Basira’s commitment to eco-conscious practices, offering both convenience and responsible environmental stewardship.
Edible spoons and straws which are Made from a mix of wheat, oats, corn, chickpeas, and brown rice are perfect for an eco friendly alternative to plastic spoons and straws.
They can be flavoured differently and can serve as a nice snack for customers after the meal.
Plastic Packaging

Paper Packaging
Paper packaging is biodegradable and recyclable and have a lower carbon footprint than plastic,
but they are highly resource intensive and may contribute to deforestation.
Iya Basira’s Packaging
Iya basiras packaging is biodegradabe and compostable utilizes a renewable and non edible by product and also reduces deforestation and Greenhouse gas emmisions which makes it a perfect solution for eco-friendly Packaging.
