Our polylactic acid (PLA) lids offer a secure, leak-proof fit for our EcoBowl range. PLA is produced from plant feedstocks such as corn, cassava, sugar cane or beets and provides insulation, water and oil resistance. Certified industrially compostable to the ASTM D6400 and EN 13432 standards, bioplastic materials offer a circular alternative to petrochemical plastic lids.
Specifications
• Suitable for cold foods. Heat sensitive: use below 48ºC
• Do not microwave
• Shelf life: Our bioplastic products have a 12-month shelf life from date of purchase. Store bioplastics out of direct sunlight and below 35ºC. Incorrect storage reduces product stability and shelf life.
Certifications
• Certified to AS 4736 for industrial composting (verified by the Australasian Bioplastics Association)
• Certified to EN 13432 for industrial composting (verified by DIN CERTCO, Germany)
End of Life
Where appropriate composting infrastructure exists, certified compostable packaging can contribute to circular economy outcomes by supporting greater diversion of food waste from landfill, including food scraps attached to packaging. End-of-life outcomes depend on local infrastructure. We recommend confirming local acceptance before making compostability claims.
*AS 4736 and EN 13432 include requirements that total fluorine content does not exceed 100 ppm, alongside declarations of no intentionally added PFAS, as referenced by the Australasian Bioplastics Association and DIN CERTCO.
