decent PLA Range
Product Information
Whether it's Hot Cups, Lids, or Straws, decent PLA & CPLA products are certified industrially compostable to international standards. Ensuring everything we make, we can unmake - and not leaving anything behind.
Certifications
- Certified industrially compostable (ASTM D6400, ASTM D6868)
- Certified Recyclable.
Materials
We use low carbon PLA biopolymers made from renewable resources and will break down into carbon dioxide, water and organic matter when in a commercial compost.
So, why PLA?
PLA can break down fully, back into organic molecules. Unlike traditional oil-based plastics, which are dangerous to source with their oil spills, super toxic refineries, and a long history of unethical business practice, our PLA products use natural, sustainably sourced materials that will break back down to compost. How’s that for a circular economy!
What's the difference between PLA and CPLA?
CPLA is crystallised PLA. The same materials, but slightly thicker, and therefore a stronger and more sturdy version of PLA. Helpful in our decent products to ensure they can hold any food or drink needed. CPLA also maintains the same ability to compost fully, and is opaque instead of clear.
