Corn plastics are plastics made from PLA (polylactide). PLA is made from corn. Corn plastic products look and feel just like regular plastic, but they are 100% biodegradable and compostable. Corn is a renewable resource which makes corn plastics much more sustainable than regular plastic. Did you know that regular plastic is made from petroleum
PLA stands for Polylactide, and is a versatile polymer produced by Biopla. PLA is made from lactic acid. Lactic acid is made from dextrose by fermentation. Dextrose is made from cornstarch and cornstarch is made from carbon dioxide and water. PLA can be formed into several different products as you see on our website
98% PLA materials and final products in the world can not resist the heat higher than 45 degrees in temperature, that makes a number of PLA packagings have received certain restrictions. At the same time, the process of maritime transport will have the inevitable problem of a series of thermal deformation.
PLA is fully compostable and biodegradable. In commercial composting conditions, PLA will compost in approximately 30-45 days. Composting may take longer in a Home composting bin.
If I throw PLA in the trash, will it biodegrade in a landfill ?
Most landfills are not designed to allow biodegrading of their contents. With that being said, PLA will react in landfills like other organic waste such as food. PLA is fully compostable in a composting facility. In addition, PLA is made from a renewable resource-corn-instead of regular plastic that is made from oil.
Is PLA more or less expensive than regular plastic ?
PLA is less expensive than PET plastic for some products, such as cold cups, PLA is less expensive than PET. For other products, PLA is the same or slightly more. You can be confident that you will benefit from china market rather than overseas oil companies
Products include cups, cutlery, food containers, trash bags and more. Everyday new products are being produced and soon every plastic product will have a PLA counterpart.

Bagasse is made from sugarcane. Rather than throwing away or burning used sugarcane stalks, the pulp is made into a paper-like substance called bagasse. Bagasse can be molded into different shapes and products that are perfect for food service.
Bagasse is fully heat tolerant like paper. Bagasse can even be put in the microwave. As with paper, extremely hot food might cause bagasse to lose some of its strength, but bagasse is one of the only biodegradable food service products in the world that can handle hot temperatures.
Can bagasse handle liquids and grease ?
Bagasse will contain to liquids and grease. It is fully grease absorbent.
Is bagasse better for the environment than paper ?
Many people consider bagasse to be more environmentally friendly than paper because it is derived from a very renewable resource-sugarcane. Also, bagasse comes from the sugarcane stalk. Rather than burning or throwing away the used sugarcane stalks, they are used to make bagasse food service products,which makes bagasse a very sustainable product!
How long does it take for bagasse to fully biodegrade and compost ?
Bagasse is fully compostable and biodegradable. In commercial composting conditions, bagasse will compost in approximately 45-60 days. Composting may take longer in a home composting bin.
How long does it take for biopla cutlery to compost or biodegrade?
biopla biodegradable forks, spoons and knives are made from a renewable resource-corn plastic-instead of regular plastic that is made from oil. these utensils begin to break down upon entering a compost friendly environment with the right temperature and bacteria. biopla utensils will biodegrade in approximately 90-120 days and are certified to be 100% compostable according to DIN Certco test. To speed up the composting time, we recommend breaking the cutlery in half prior to composting.
