Biodegradable Bags, Cups and Container

Biodegradable bags and single-use clear cups and containers are made of a natural resin called polylactide (PLA). Their performance is ike those made of oil-based plastics.

Production of PLA involves breaking down plant starches into natural sugars. The sugar is fermented and distilled to extract the carbon, which is the basic building block for commercial-grade plastics. It is created from enewable plant resources and requires fewer fossil resources in the process.

Their natural origin makes our cups, lids and containers totally compostable. They are completely degradable in commercial and municipal composting facilities. All our cafeteria-ware degrades into water, carbon dioxide and organic materials.

PLA based cups and containers are suitable only for cold food and beverages. Recommended
storage conditions are in a dry location and away from temperatures exceeding 100º Fahrenheit.

Biodegradable Tableware

Our biodegradable tableware is made from sugar cane fiber remaining after the extraction of
juice from the sugar cane. This renewable resource is utilized in the manufacture of products
normally made of plastic or paper and avoids pollution from the standard practice of burning
the sugar cane pulp after the juice has been extracted.

All tableware is soak proof (no plastic or wax is applied) and may be utilized for both hot and
cold items. As an alternative to plastic or paper tableware, it is:

• Able to handle warm to hot foods.
• Microwaveable and freezer safe
• Sterilized and sanitized, conforms to U.S. Food and Drug Administration standards
• Fully compostable, sturdy and strong
• A wide variety of sizes and styles are available in plates, bowls, lids and cups.
  

Biodegradable Utensils

Biodegradable utensils aremanufactured from100% compostable PLA. They are excellent for cold and
warm food items and have the feel of plastic, yet they will break down when composted.
