What is Fair Trade

Fair Trade Pricing

These biodegradable containers are made from NatureWorks polylactic acid (PLA), which is derived from corn grown in the USA.   These PLA bowls are fully biodegradable and compostable and meet themost stringent scientific requirements for biodegradability and compostability,and are ASTM D6400-99 certified for " compostable plastics".  Though, they are indistinguishable from normal plastic and as light and strong, they fully degrade into water, carbon dioxide and organic material when composted.  There is no reason not to use these food containers  made from readily renewable resources as compared to the petroleum based plastic containers, which create toxicity and environmental pollution.   

 

Please note, composting is required for biodegradation and these compostable containers will  biodegrade within 180 days in a commercial composting facility, and can take up to a year or more to biodegrade in a home composting system.  These biodegradable bowls are only meant to be used for food at temperatures less than 110 degrees F.
