Compostable PLA Based Films

The Packaging Therapist  ·  30 December 2023

Guest: Deepak, Applications Development Engineer at NatureWorks

Bio-based flexible packaging is moving quickly, and the difference between a bio-based film and a conventional one is not always what people assume.

In this conversation you will learn

  • How bio-based and conventional flexible materials actually differ
  • The environmental and economic case for biopolymers, and PLA in particular
  • Versatility, compostability and carbon footprint, treated separately rather than lumped together
  • The real hurdles to adopting bio-based packaging, and what is changing

Working through this in your own packaging?
