A greener alternative to single-use plastic foodware items are containers fashioned from more natural materials. The composting company Jorgji intends to do its part by selling compostable packaging made from 100% sugarcane bagasse.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Member of Parliament Julian Simmonds was able to meet with Ross Fazel, the Bardon resident who manages Jorgji, earlier in April.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"fb-root\"><\/div>\n<script async=\"\" defer=\"\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\" src=\"https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/sdk.js#xfbml=1&amp;version=v10.0\" nonce=\"R2ZJswPE\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"fb-post\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/JulianSimmondsMP\/posts\/833997650531107\" data-width=\"500\" data-show-text=\"true\"><blockquote cite=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/JulianSimmondsMP\/posts\/833997650531107\" class=\"fb-xfbml-parse-ignore\"><p>It was great to meet with Bardon resident Ross yesterday to discuss his innovative business Jorgji.
