PLA films
Environmentally friendly packaging solution made from plant starch

PLA films (polylactide or polylactic acid) are bio-based and biodegradable plastic films derived from plant starch – usually corn or sugar cane. They are among the most important types of bioplastics and are an environmentally friendly alternative to petroleum-based plastic packaging.

Your advantages:

  • Made from corn starch
  • Industrially compostable
  • Food-safe
  • Ideal for transparent packaging

Unlike our PE-based biofilm, PLA is derived from purely plant-based raw materials and is biodegradable under industrial conditions – ideal for applications where compostability is a priority.

PLA film – bio-based & compostable for sustainable packaging

Benefit from its special properties:

  • Bio-based & environmentally friendly: Made from renewable raw materials such as corn starch or sugar cane, PLA causes up to 75% less CO₂ emissions than petroleum-based plastics.
  • Compostable: Industrially compostable in accordance with DIN EN 13432 – the film decomposes without residue under defined conditions.
  • Transparent & glossy: Highly transparent surface with over 92% light transmission – ideal for window packaging.
  • Printable: Natural surface tension of 36–38 mN/m enables good printability without additional pretreatment.
  • Barrier properties: Good barrier against flavors, fats, water vapor, and oxygen – extends the shelf life of many products.
  • Food-safe: Approved for direct contact with food, depending on the film type.

Important – Not heat resistant: Limited heat resistance (< 60 °C) – not suitable for hot filling.

PLA film for food packaging & non-food items

Our PLA films offer excellent moisture transmission rates and a good barrier against oxygen, which extends the shelf life of food. This makes them ideal for packaging baked goods, fruit, and vegetables, as well as non-food items such as gift packaging and viewing windows in cardboard packaging.
