What is Packaging Made from Renewable Crops?
  Packaging made from renewable resources are grown from crops that have quick growth lifespans.
For example, sugar cane and corn crops have less than I year growth lifespan.

 
  Q: What is packaging made from Sugar Cane?
Sugar Cane is grown to extract sugar from its stalk. After the juice is extracted, the remaining sugar cane fiber pulp is called Bagasse. Up until recently, Bagasse was treated as a waste product, and was often burned thereby causing air pollution. Producing packaging out of the sugar cane pulp solves the problem of waste. In addition it creates a value added product from a material that was once treated as a waste product		   Q. How is packaging from Corn Manufactured?
The transformation of corn into plastic is a highly complex process. The corn is broken down into lactic acid, which mico organisms then convert into plastic. Once the crop has been harvested, the field is planted again - so PLA is produced from a naturally renewable annual resource.
  Q: What are the benefits of using packaging made from Sugar Cane?
Sugar Cane packaging is 100% compostable and it biodegrades in 30-90 days. Through the use of this product, you are contributing to a sustainable planet. Bagasse is a tree-free readily renewable resource and provides a superior alternative to petroleum derived products. It will biodegrade and will not stay in the environment for hundreds of years.		   Q. What are the benefits of using packaging made from Corn?
PLA produced from corn is 100% biocompostable. It is produced from an annually renewable resource. When composted, it will biodegrade and will not fill landfills.
  Q: How long does packaging from Sugar Cane take to biocompost?
The rate of decomposition depends on the composting conditions – the temperature, turnover rate, moisture etc. Just like other compostable material, products will biodegrade much faster, if they are broken into smaller pieces. Packaging from Sugar Cane will biodegrade at the same rate as garden waste in a home composting system, which depending on the home composting system can be approximately 30 and 90 days. 		  Q: How long does packaging from Corn take to biocompost?

  Q: How well does Sugar Cane packaging  handle heat, microwave and freezer?
Sugar Cane Packaging will handle hot food and beverages up to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. It is also microwave safe and freezer safe.		   Q: How well does Corn packaging handle heat, microwave and freezer?
PLA can be used for all food products between 32°F and 100°F. It cannot be used in the freezer or in high heat conditions.
  Q: Where is Sugar Cane packaging manufactured?
The packaging is made in China. 		  Q. Where is PLA from Corn manufactured?
The resin is produced in Nebraska.
