An innovative rigid, thin walled packaging made from a compostable biodegradable material has been developed by Biotech (Sphere Group) and Europlastiques. Polylactic acid (PLA) for food contact applications has been used as the raw material. Processing conditions have been optimized for converting it by injection molding into rigid, thin-walled packaging. The container then goes through In-Mold Labeling (IML) process, the label used being also made from a bioplastic material.
