A little bit about PLA (Polylatic acid) food packaging...
- PLA packaging is currently the leading alternative option to petroleum-based plastic food packaging.
- Aesthetics are no different than regular plastic.
- It is derived from fermented plant starch (usually corn starch).
- Under suitable conditions, PLA packages can decompose within three months, while plastic packages take over 1,000 years.
- It is carbon neutral: from its production to its decomposition, it leaves no carbon footprints.
- It contains no toxins.
- Uses 65% less energy to produce and emits 68% less greenhouse gases compared to conventional plastic.
By using biodegradable packaging, you are becoming greener without any big commitments!
