Frequently asked questions about our sustainable snack and sauce pots.
Sustainability
What is PLA?
What is PLA?
PLA (Polylactic Acid) is a bioplastic made from renewable plant sources like corn or sugarcane. It's used in compostable takeaway packaging because it's biodegradable and industrially compostable, meaning it breaks down in commercial composting facilities, unlike traditional plastics. PLA is a popular choice for cups, containers, and lids because it provides a sustainable alternative to petroleum-based plastics while still offering durability, moisture resistance, and heat tolerance needed for takeaway items.

In these conditions, it degrades relatively quickly without leaving harmful residues.
