Made of a compostable material such as corn starch, the PLA (polylactic acid) capsules are a pioneering product in the packaging sector and also environment friendly.
According to Natureworks, PLA production has a carbon footprint up to 70% less than the production process of PVC and the heat-shrinkable feature of the material, at a lower temperature than PVC and PET, allows energy saving in the encapsulation process.
The PLA skirt and its top in recyclable aluminium or bioplastic film make these capsules an ecological option.
