Portion Pots that Reduce Microplastics

Microplastics & Environmental Concern

Vast amounts of plastics enter the environment every year and it is impacting wildlife, the climate, the water we drink and the food we consume. Plastic pollution is perhaps one of the most pressing and critical issues facing the planet and it is negatively impacting human health.

Oxo-degradable plastic products do not biodegrade. Instead it slowly breaks down into smaller and smaller pieces and eventually into fine toxic microplastics resulting in particles less than five millimeters in size. These fragments will unfortunately remain in the environment indefinitely and will eventually make its way into the food chain.

Innovations in Product Development & Reducing Landfill Pollution

New efforts and innovations in product development are concentrated on developing sustainable landfill-friendly alternatives for food service operations.

Polyactic Acid (PLA).PLA is a plastic substrate made from fermented plant starch(usually corn) is fast becoming a popular alternative to traditional petroleum based plastic resins such as polyethylene. Non-toxic and non-polluting, these BPA plastic-free portion pots are certified to theASTM D6400 standardto breakdown into healthy soil within 12 weeks. These compostable plant-based PLA based souffle cups conserve oil resources and support cleaner production methods while protecting the health of our planet and diverting waste from landfill.
