Flax4Life Up to the Challenge of Switching from PE to Plant-Based PLA Material

摘要

Flax4Life, a producer of certified gluten-free and allergy-friendly baked products, converted its retail muffin and brownie tray material from industry-standard PE to a new industrial compostable, plant-based PLA material based on renewable sugar cane. The company says this move will keep thousands of pounds of petroleum plastics from our environment each year. Plus, the process of producing these trays results in a significantly lower CO_2 emission rate compared to the production of PE plastics. And the only difference to the consumer is the enhanced sustainability profile where industrial composting is available.
