【PLA】Plant-based biodegradable foam sheet【Low environmental impact・Considerate of the Earth】
Foamed sheets made from biodegradable resin PLA (polylactic acid) that are produced using environmentally friendly methods. They can be used for food trays, agricultural products, medical supplies, packaging, and cushioning materials.
Plasteco Co., Ltd. has consistently focused on "plastic production that considers people and the Earth" since its establishment. Through our unique technology that uses a safe inert gas with a low global warming potential to foam resins, we conduct research on plastic products and manufacturing methods that address environmental and resource issues, as well as the development and manufacturing of related equipment. With this technology, we have successfully achieved high-density foaming of plant-based biodegradable resins like PLA (polylactic acid), which were previously difficult to foam. Our foamed plastics are carbon neutral, derived from non-petroleum sources, and do not generate excess CO₂ during manufacturing and disposal processes, making them advanced materials that can be safely used in the future. Our foamed sheets are 100% biodegradable and do not use chemical foaming agents. Amid growing global concern over plastic waste, they can be applied in various fields as new environmentally friendly products, including food trays, packaging materials, and medical products. We have vacuum forming equipment and molds for testing, allowing for prototyping from sheets to formed products.

basic information
**Reduction of Greenhouse Gases** Our unique "supercritical inert gas foaming technology" does not use hydrocarbon-based foaming materials with high global warming potential. By utilizing plant-derived materials and non-petroleum-based inert gas foaming materials, we achieve "carbon neutrality" by not generating excess CO₂ during the manufacturing and disposal processes. **Solution to Plastic Waste Problem** The foamed sheets made from 100% biodegradable resin, known as Plasteco, naturally decompose in about a week in environments rich in microorganisms. We are also currently conducting research on the marine biodegradability of resins, advancing the development of new plastic products that contribute to solving plastic waste in the ocean. At Plasteco, we conduct research on plastic products and manufacturing methods that address environmental and resource issues in collaboration with partner research institutions. As the use of petroleum-based resins is increasingly restricted worldwide, the biodegradable, completely non-petroleum-based foamed plastic products developed from this research are advanced materials that can be safely used in the future.
