Do you know how often plastic products are recycled or reused?
The answer is rarely. Some of the plastic products we use are recycled, but the rest end up in landfills that
look similar to the picture on your right.
Nowadays, we rely heavily on the use of plastic products. The constant use of plastic ensures that
we will not be able to recover our environment, but we can change this outcome.
At Eco-Packaging, we believe that if we change, we can prevent further damages to our environment.
It is up to us to decide whether to change or not. So, what is your next move?
PLA stands for Polylactic Acid, or Polylactide, a versatile polymer produced by NatureWorks LLC.
PLA is made from lactic acid. Lactic acid is made from dextrose by fermentation.
Dextrose is made from starch and starch is made from carbon dioxide and water.
The introduction of PLA is the world's first and only performance plastic made from 100%
annually renewable resources.
- PLA is made from renewable resources
- Fewer fossil resources are required to produce PLA
- PLA production emits less carbon dioxide because it uses renewable resources as a feedstock.
- PLA fits into any waste management system with a benefit
- PLA has performance equal to or better than comparable petroleum-based products in many aspects
