PLA (Polylactic Acid) is a compostable bioplastic made from plants - primarily corn - not fossil fuels.
Manufacturing bioplastics such as PLA produces significantly less carbon than conventional plastics such as PS or PET, and all Vegware PLA products are commercially compostable where accepted.
Clear PLA varieties are suitable for cold use only, however CPLA (Crystallised PLA) is suitable for both hot and cold.
