PLA Products

Conventional plastics use non-renewable fossil fuels, and its nonbiodegradability means as much as 79% of all the plastics ever made remain in environment. AL Hazma supplies PLA (Polylactic Acid) based products and are bio-based and bio degradable or compostable polymer made from corn starch, sugar cane, cassava root and sugar beet. These plants are fermented to produce lactic acid, which then goes through the process of polymerization to create PLA. As a thermoplastic, it bears similarities to plastics such as polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), or polystyrene (PS), and is manufactured using techniques such as extrusion, injection molding, thermoforming, and other methods such as 3D printin using PLA filament.PLA is most frequently being used as an alternative to non-bio s in low-stress applications like cups, cutleries, food packaging, and bags, where it is more than strong enough for a single-use. It is considered much safer for use with edibles. The bio-plastic is BPA and phthalate free, so a contamination with endocrine disruptors is not an issue. PLA is fully compostable (3-6 months), doesn't mean that it's going to start breaking down in your hands or as you rush back from the supply.
