PLA Packaging
PLA cups, lids and food containers evaluated for clarity, temperature, fit, disposal pathway and destination requirements.

PLA Packaging for Defined Use Conditions

Do not describe every PLA item as suitable for every hot, cold or composting scenario. The exact material, product construction and destination requirements must be confirmed.
