GXFLIGHT PLA tableware are including thermoforming PLA cup, PLA Lid, and injection molded PLA bowl, cup and cutleries, which can be designed into an airline tableware set. It is eco-friendly.


What is PLA Material?

PLA is the English abbreviation of biodegradable plastic polylactic acid. Polylactic acid, also known as polylactide, belongs to polyester family. Polylactic acid is a polymer obtained by polymerization with lactic acid as the main raw material. The raw material source is sufficient and can be regenerated. It mainly takes corn and cassava as raw materials. The production process of polylactic acid is pollution-free, and the product can be biodegradable to realize the circulation in nature. Therefore, it is an ideal green polymer material.


Why is PLA Biodegradable?

Polylactic acid (PLA) is a new biodegradable material, which is made of starch raw materials proposed by renewable plant resources (such as corn). Starch raw materials are made into lactic acid through fermentation, and then converted into polylactic acid through chemical synthesis. It has good biodegradability, can be completely degraded by microorganisms in nature after use, and finally produce carbon dioxide and water without polluting the environment, which is very beneficial to environmental protection. It is recognized as an environment-friendly material. Care for the earth, you and I are responsible.


Are PLA Cups Compostable?

GXFLIGHT PLA Cup are compostable, it can be buried in the soil for degradation. The generated carbon dioxide directly enters the soil organic matter or is absorbed by plants. It will not be discharged into the air and will not cause greenhouse effect.


How Long Does PLA Take to Decompose?

Composting

6 months: ASTM D6400 industrial composting

12 months: Thickness 3.4mm in natural environment
