PLA - Facts about Corn Resin

• The Corn Resin used for all Usmoothie bio degradeable cups, lids and straws is made by a company called NatureWorks and the resin is referred to as PLA (Polymerized Lactic Acid). NatureWorks PLA is made by isolating the starch stored in the corn kernels and converting it into sugars. During a process of fermentation and separation the sugars become lactic acid, which is used to create the plastic called polylactide.

• Corn Resin requires about 20% to 30% less energy to produce and contributes only half the carbon dioxide than plastics made from petrochemicals.

• PLA is compostable and biodegradable in industrial composting conditions, but it will not degrade or disintegrate on shelves.

• Products made from PLA Corn Plastic are not dishwasher safe.
