What is PLA?
PLA is a biodegradable, plant-based plastic derived from renewable resources like corn starch, sugarcane, and cassava roots. Unlike traditional plastics made from petroleum, PLA production emits fewer greenhouse gases, reduces reliance on finite fossil fuels, and has a smaller environmental footprint.
Environmental Benefits:
-
Biodegradable & Compostable: When disposed of under the right industrial composting conditions, PLA naturally breaks down into water, carbon dioxide, and organic matter within 6-12 months, leaving no toxic residues.
-
Non-Toxic: PLA is free from harmful chemicals, making it safer for the planet and for products used in various industries, including healthcare and food packaging.
- Supports Circular Economy: By sourcing PLA from renewable crops, we contribute to a sustainable cycle where materials are grown, used, and then safely returned to the earth.
