In our throw-away culture, there is a high need to create materials that can be recycled; biodegradable paper plates is one of the new trends for green living. As we focus on making sure more and more of what we toss out from our homes and places of business is biodegradable, we are closer to the goal of making Earth an eco-friendly place with less waste.
Like biodiesel fuel, biodegradable packaging is plant-based. The largest producer of this product created from resin -- which is called PLA (polylactic acid)-- is located outside of Blair, Nebraska. NatureWorks is the name of the manufacturer that uses corn to produce an industrial resin or polymer. NatureWorks claims that their polymer product is "derived from 100 percent annually renewable resources such as corn" and is the "world's first polymer showing a significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions."
Prior to recent years, nearly all packaging for food, produce, and supplies were sold in plastics that were oil-based, made from petroleum. Now with the rising costs of oil, companies are looking for ways to save money. When the largest retailer in the world, Wal-Mart, said that it would sell produce in PLA containers, this boosted sales of disposable food packagings. Wal-Mart plans to use 114 million PLA containers over the course of a year. It is estimated that this eco-friendly decision will cut down on 800,000 barrels of oil each year.
It is believed that there will be a growing demand for this corn-based biodegradable product, causing the market to grow by about 20 percent over the next year. Consumers and environmentalists, along with national recycling regulations, are helping with the growth.
Shengling is the first package manufacturing enterprise in China who has simultaneously obtained standard of ISO9001 Quality Management System and ISO22000 Food Safety Management System (HACCP, GMP, SSOP, etc. included). The product inspection reports we can provide include Silliker, BRC/loP, SGS, ISO9001, ISO22000 and so on. Shengling has also passed the compostable tests of ASTM D6868 and EN13432 and various third party factory audit.
The management of the whole production process is based on QC working procedure list. The standard procedure includes raw material receipt, auxiliaries adding for pulping, molding, trimming, test, metal detection, sterilization, inner packing, carton packing and storage. Besides, we can cover film, print or do other process on the products according to customers’ requirements. In the whole production process, the QC will randomly inspect the products at regular intervals so as to make sure the products quality is in compliance of standard.
