PLA, or Polylactic Acid, is a bio-based and biodegradable material derived from renewable plants like corn and cassava. Its key advantages as a coating lie in its environmental profile and specific properties:
Compostable & Biodegradable
This is the core advantage of PLA. Under industrial composting conditions (specific temperature, humidity, and microbes), the PLA coating, along with its substrate (e.g., a paper cup), can completely break down into CO₂, water, and biomass within a few months. This returns it to nature as compost, creating a "cradle-to-cradle" cycle and avoiding permanent plastic pollution.Made from Renewable Resources
PLA's raw materials are plant-based starches, unlike traditional PE (Polyethylene) coatings which are derived from non-renewable petroleum. This reduces reliance on fossil fuels and lowers the overall carbon footprint of the product.Biocompatibility & Safety
PLA is a recognized safe material, non-toxic and non-irritating. It is highly suitable for food and beverage packaging, such as paper cups and takeaway containers, with no risk of contaminating the contents.Excellent Functional Properties
It provides a good barrier against grease and moisture. Like PE, it also offers excellent heat-sealability, ensuring strong and secure seals for pouches or cup rims.Reduced Carbon Footprint
Since plants absorb CO₂ through photosynthesis during their growth, the production of PLA contributes to a reduction in net greenhouse gas emissions compared to conventional plastics.| Oil Resistance | High |
