PLA Plant-Based Plastic
Polylactic Acid (PLA) is derived from plants like corn, sugarcane, or cassava. These plant-based starches are processed into a biopolymer that looks, acts, and performs like a traditional petroleum-based plastic.
With the circular benefits of being made from renewable, plant-based materials and being compostable in commercial composting facilities – this versatile raw material is a fan favorite for earth-loving fans.
You will find PLA in many of our GreenStripe products, from PLA-lined molded fiber, to clear cold cups, clear clamshells and deli containers, and even CPLA (crystalized PLA) for heat tolerant cutlery and hot cup lids.
