CPLA / RCPLA – CPLA is derived from PLA. Crystallized Poly Latic Acid combines 70-80% PLA and 20-30% Chalk and biodegradable additives. The crystallization process to CPLA enables products to withstand temperatures to 85 degrees centigrade. CPLA is matt white or by adding charcoal becomes black and as such is used for coffee cup lids. This does not affect the composting properties. CPLA is 100% biodegradable and compostable according to EN-13432 standard
PLA (Poly Lactic Acid) naturally occurs from plant starch derived from renewable corn crops and processed into bio-polymer material referred to as PLA. Predominantly used in the manufacture of deli and salad containers, straws, cold drink cups and lids. PLA is replacing the traditional fossil oil based products such as polythene used for internal cup linings. PLA degrades in a natural environment into biomass; CO2 and water. PLA conforms to European compostability standard EN13432 and uses less non-renewable energy during production than more traditional oil based plastics and has much lower CO2 emissions. End of life options for PLA include composting.
