PLA

PLA is the short form for polylactide (Poly Lactic Acid). PLA food packaging is a bioplastic and has a high level of transparency and strength. They are made from renewable raw materials and are both bio-based, biodegradable and compostable in accordance with DIN EN 13432. The starch obtained from plants is fermented to produce lactic acids. These are processed into granules from which your packaging is made. For more stable and heat-resistant shapes, talc is added to produce CPLA.
