ECO FACTS
Facts about our materials.
PLA (Polylactic Acid)
Polylactic Acid (PLA) is a 100% renewable thermoplastic derived from fermented plant starches, such as corn, sugarcane, or cassava. Unlike conventional plastic, PLA is industrially compostable, breaking down into organic matter without leaving behind toxic residues or microplastics.
Crystal Clarity: PLA offers a high-gloss, glass-like transparency, making it the perfect choice for showcasing fresh produce, salads, and cold beverages.
Versatile Design: From rigid clamshells and deli containers to flexible films and cold-drink cups, PLA provides the durability your business needs with the sustainability your customers demand.
Food Safe: Our PLA products are naturally BPA-free and
non-toxic, ensuring your products remain as fresh and
pure as intended.
Carbon Conscious: Because it is plant-based, the production of PLA has a significantly lower carbon footprint than oil-based plastics like PET or PS.
100%
Plant-Based
Made from renewable resources like corn starch or sugarcane, reducing reliance on fossil fuels.
Carbon Efficient
Its production generates significantly fewer greenhouse gas emissions compared to traditional petroleum-based plastics.
Non-Toxic & BPA-Free
Naturally safe for food contact, with no harmful chemicals leaching into the contents.
Compostable
It is industrially compostable, meaning it can break down into organic matter rather than sitting in a landfill for centuries.
Sugarcane Bagasse
Bagasse is the fibrous residue left over after sugarcane stalks are crushed to extract their juice. Instead of being burned as waste, this fiber is heat-pressed into high-strength food packaging.
Natural Breathability: The textured fiber allows steam to escape, which prevents food from becoming soggy—a common issue with plastic-lined containers.
Home-Compostable Potential: Because it is a natural plant fiber with no plastic coating, many Bagasse products are certified for home composting, breaking down in backyard bins.
Agricultural Upcycling: Bagasse is made from the fibrous stalks left over after sugar production; it turns a massive waste stream into high-quality food packaging.
Thermal Versatility: It is one of the few eco-materials that is microwave, oven (up to 200°C), and freezer safe, making it ideal for "reheat-at-home" meals.
High Heat Resisitance
Unlike PLA, Bagasse is microwave and
freezer safe,
handling temperatures
up to 100°C
Breathable & Oil-Resistant
Naturally grease-resistant without the need for plastic linings, keeping fried foods crispy instead of soggy.
100% Home Compostable
One of the few materials that can often break down in a backyard compost bin, not just industrial facilities.
Tree-Free
A rapidly renewable byproduct that saves forests by replacing paper and wood pulp.
CPLA (Crystallized Polylactic Acid)
CPLA is essentially "High-Heat PLA." By adding chalk as a catalyst during the crystallization process, the material becomes much stronger and resistant to high temperatures.
Heat-Reinforced Structure: By adding chalk during the "crystallization" process, CPLA becomes resistant to temperatures
up to 85°C, preventing the warping or melting seen
in standard PLA.
High Mechanical Strength: CPLA is significantly stiffer and more durable than regular bioplastics, making it the industry standard for compostable cutlery and coffee lids
Opaque Aesthetic: Unlike the clear finish of PLA, CPLA has a solid, matte appearance (usually in off-white or charcoal black), providing a premium look for hot food service.
Chemical-Free Durability: It achieves its high-heat performance through physical crystallization rather than the addition of toxic chemical stabilizers or BPA.
Heat-Defying Bio-Plastic
Withstands temperatures up to 85°C, making it the gold standard for compostable coffee cup lids and cutlery.
Extreme Durability
Much stiffer and stronger than standard PLA, so utensils won't snap or bend during use.
Matt Finish
Typically comes in a sleek, off-white or black matte finish, giving it a premium, modern look.
Renewable & Compostable
Maintains the same eco-credentials as standard PLA while solving the "melting" issue.
Kraft Paper
Kraft paper is produced using the "Kraft process," which involves a chemical conversion of wood into wood pulp. It is famous for its strength and natural, rustic aesthetic.
Superior Fiber Strength: Named after the German word for "strength," the Kraft process preserves the long wood fibers, resulting in a paper that is highly tear-resistant.
Unbleached Integrity: Its signature brown color comes from being unbleached, which reduces chemical usage and water waste during the manufacturing process.
High Recyclability: Kraft paper is the most widely accepted material in municipal recycling programs, fitting into standard household paper waste streams globally.
Bio-Degradable Safety: If it does end up in the environment, Kraft paper is completely biodegradable and will break down naturally without harming soil or marine life.
High Tensile Strength
"Kraft" is the German word for strength; this paper is tear-resistant and ideal for heavy-duty takeaway bags.
The "Natural" Look
The unbleached brown color immediately signals "Eco-Friendly" to customers, boosting brand perception.
Widely Recyclable
Unlike some bioplastics that require special facilities, Kraft paper can be tossed into standard paper recycling bins worldwide.
Highly Customizable
The perfect surface for custom branding, stamps, and organic-ink printing.
