PLA Material for Disposable Cutlery & Tableware Eco-Friendly Alternative PLA to Traditional Plastics

Product Description

Product Description

Polylactic acid (PLA) is a new type of biodegradable material, made from starch raw materials from renewable plant resources (such as corn). Starch raw materials are saccharified to obtain glucose, which is then fermented with glucose and certain strains of bacteria to produce high-purity lactic acid, and then polylactic acid of a certain molecular weight is synthesized through chemical synthesis. It has good biodegradability and can be completely degraded by microorganisms in nature after use, eventually generating carbon dioxide and water without polluting the environment. This is very beneficial to protecting the environment and is a recognized environmentally friendly material.
Physical properties
Density: 1.25-1.28g/cm3
Melting point: 176 °C
Intrinsic viscosity IV: 0.2-8 dL/g
Glass transition temperature: 60-65°C,
Heat transfer coefficient: 0.025 λ(w/m·k

PLA material can be used for disposable tableware, providing a sustainable solution for products such as spoons, forks, knives, plates, and cups. Unlike traditional plastics, PLA is fully biodegradable and compostable, reducing environmental pollution while maintaining excellent performance. It is safe for food contact, odorless, and maintains its stability in both hot and cold temperatures. PLA tableware is widely used in restaurants, food service establishments, and for takeaway packaging, and its compostability meets international standards. With increasingly stringent regulations on the use of disposable plastics worldwide, PLA tableware offers businesses an environmentally friendly alternative, meeting consumer demands for convenience while enhancing customer satisfaction.

Product Parameters

Biodegradable: PLA is a biodegradable material that will be decomposed into carbon dioxide and water by microorganisms after decomposition, and will not cause long-term pollution to the environment.

Similar to traditional plastics: PLA is similar to traditional plastics in physical properties, with good toughness, mechanical strength and thermal stability.

High transparency: PLA has good transparency and is suitable for making transparent packaging materials.

Good processability: PLA can be made into products of various shapes through various processing methods such as injection molding, blow molding, and stretch molding.

Non-toxic and environmentally friendly: Since PLA uses natural plant raw materials, it does not contain harmful substances, is non-toxic and harmless to the human body, and meets food-grade safety standards.
