Customer friends, if you are using or planning to use or want to suggest the company to use PLA products. Take our word for it: study PLA first!Is PLA really environmentally friendly?Can PLA really enhance your company's "green" image? Highlight social responsibility?
Pay a little higher cost, but is it really beneficial?
Beease will give you a brief explanation.
PLA (polylactic acid) is often considered a relatively environmentally friendly alternative to traditional plastics because it is a renewable resource made from cornstarch, sugar cane or other plant-based materials.
PLA has a lower carbon footprint than traditional petroleum-based plastics and is biodegradable under certain conditions. However, it is important to note that PLA is not a perfect solution and there are still some environmental issues with its production and disposal.
For example, the production of PLA requires a lot of energy and resources, and the process of converting plant-based materials into PLA generates greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, PLA can only biodegrade under certain conditions in industrial composting facilities, and it can still litter and pollute the environment if not disposed of properly.
In general, while PLA is generally considered a more environmentally friendly material than traditional plastics, the full lifecycle of the product and how it is disposed of needs to be considered to fully assess its environmental impact.
By the way, the so-called PLA paper cups actually use PLA to replace the PE inner layer of traditional paper cups. They are both plastics, but different types. Send PLA paper cups to the field, and they will take a long, long time to completely decompose, just like traditional paper cups.
If customers really want to do something for the planet. You can choose our Beease plastic-free paper cup Be-Eco, coupled with a bagasse lid, can achieve higher efficiency and more realistic natural degradation.
