These innovative products are made from all-natural corn, sugarcane, PLA, plant starch and post-consumer fibers. All of these products decompose in a compost bin or landfill and provide nutrients to the soil.
Sugarcane
Eco-Products offer a 100 percent compostable alternative to conventional tree-based paper products. Known as Bagasse, these paper items are made from sugarcane fiber after the sugar 'juice' has been extracted. This renewable resource is grown and harvested every year and a half. Typically, sugarcane fiber is a discarded by-product from cane sugar manufacturing, but Eco-Products uses the material, creating an end-user product.
What is PLA?
PLA stands for polylactic acid, or Polylactide, a versatile polymer produced by NatureWorks LLC. It's the world's first and only performance plastic made from 100% annually renewable resources. It offers the cost and performance necessary to compete with traditional petroleum-based materials in the packaging and service-ware markets. It's clear and strong like petroleum-based plastic, but with the critical benefit of being compostable.
