Polylactic Acid (PLA) Products Polylactic Acid (PLA) is an environmentally friendly alternative to conventional, petrochemical-derived products. The lactate from which the material is produced is derived from annually renewable resources such as corn starch and other starch rich vegetable substances like sugar or wheat. The production of PLA requires fewer fossil resources and generates fewer greenhouse gasses, in comparison to most traditional plastics. PLA looks and feels like traditional plastic packaging - it is strong and durable to protect food and retain freshness. The products are crystal clear offering excellent presentation to the consumer. Composting of PLA products will lead to complete decomposition and biodegradation of the material - turning it into water and carbon dioxide. *Please note that this range is suitable for cold / warm food up to approximately 40ºc, unless otherwise stated.
