PLA

PLA offers the strength and durability needed to replace conventional plastics in many reusable applications while also providing sustainable end-of-life options for disposable applications. Unlike traditional plastics that resist biological degradation, Luminy® PLA can be reused, recycled, and composted—degrading faster than banana or orange peels in industrial composting facilities.

PLA plastic is a compostable material, which means that it biodegrades under composting conditions, turning into compost, CO2 and water without leaving residues of microplastics or heavy metals.

Containers and packaging: it is increasingly common to see trays and bottles made from this type of material, especially in the food industry.

• It is a material of renewable origin, so we would avoid making use of sources such as petroleum.
• It is a compostable material.
• It is odorless, transparent and shiny.
• Visually, it has the same appearance as conventional plastic.
• No need to redesign products or invest heavily in new manufacturing equipment.
