BAGASSE

Bagasse is the agricultural waste that remains after sugar cane stalks are processed for their juices. The raw materials used leave a small environmental footprint and they regenerate very quickly and abundantly in nature.

BAMBOO DINNERWARE

Bamboo Dinnerware is made from the bamboo sheath. The sheath is a protective covering found on newly emerging bamboo plants. As the plant matures, the sheath falls to the ground and most often is utilized the sheaths are cleaned, boiled, laminated to the desired thickness, and pressed into shape. The result is disposable/reusable dinnerware that is elegant, strong and 100% biodegradable.
 

PLA PLASTICS

PLA stands for poly lactide acid, and is a versatile polymer that is made from lactic acid. Lactic acid is made from dextrose by fermentation. Dextrose is made from corn starch and corn starch is made from carbon dioxide and water. It's 100% biodegradable and compostable. Corn is a renewable resource which makes corn plastics much more sustainable than regular plastic which is made from petroleum. PLA will compost in approximately 30-45 days. How Is PLA Made? The starting material for Poly lactic acid is starch from a renewable resource such as corn. Corn is milled, which separates starch from the raw material. Unrefined dextrose is then processed from the starch. Dextrose is turned into lactic acid using fermentation, similar to that used by beer and wine producers.

Turning the lactic acid into a polymer plastic takes some specialized chemistry. Through a chemical process called condensation, two lactic acid molecules are converted into one cyclic molecule called a lactide. This lactide is purified through vacuum distillation. A solvent-free melt process causes the ring-shaped lactide polymers to open and join end-to-end to form long chain polymers. A wide range of products that vary in molecular weight and crystallinity can be produced, allowing the PLA to be modified for a variety of applications.
