biodegradable_plastic_cupResearchers have now developed a new form of plastic from corn-starch which is 100% biodegradable in less than 60 days and is already being used for compost bags, food packaging, displosable tableware and in biomedicine for sutures, stents, dialysis and drug delivery devices. In addition, researchers have now succeeded in making the new plastic less expensive to produce through direct fermentation techniques. It is considered non toxic as well.

    Biodegradable plastic and packaging is a modern necessity for our ever-endangered environment.
    Now PLA has been used to line the indoors of Paper Cups in place of the oil based lining additional usually used, create Plastic Cups, Plates, Carrier Bags, Food Packaging and even Nappies.
    Eco Pure is our proprietary blend of organic materials that does not modify the base resin to which it is added.

    Thanks a lot for your information
