Ingeo™ Biopolymer PLA

Polylactid Acid from Natureworks, under the brand name Ingeo™ biopolymer, is a biopolymer offering significant environmental benefits as it is made from renewable resources. It is produced by polymerisation of lactic acid, which is derived from the fermentation of plant-based sugars. Thus, Ingeo™ biopolymer PLA provides an eco-friendly option for various segments.

General Info:

Today, manufacturing Ingeo™ biopolymer produces 60% less greenhouse gases and uses 50% less non-renewable energy compared to traditional polymers like PET or polystyrene. This transparent polymer can be processed using various techniques such as sheet/film extrusion, thermoforming, injection moulding, or ISBM. Ingeo™ biopolymer PLA is produced in Blair, Nebraska, USA.
