Renewable/Sustainable Resource
A resource which can be sustained at current levels if current consumption trend continues. As conventional plastics are derived from oil, they are not sustainable resources. Paper and board derived from properly managed timber is a sustainable resource.
Biodegradable
Biodegradable items are those in which the degradation results from the action of naturally occuring microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi and algae.
Compostable

The European Standard EN13432 is one of the most globally recognised accreditations for composting, and outlines the criteria a product must meet to be considered 100% compostable.

Our products are largely manufactured from the following environmentally friendly materials:
PLA

Made from rapidly renewable plant resources means that Ingeo used in foodservice packaging has a significantly lower carbon footprint than the fossil fuel based polymers that it replaces.
