More Corn?

Published: October 01, 2006

The Coated Products Operations of Green Bay Packaging, Green Bay, WI, offers EcoVantage p-s label films made from a PLA polymer derived from corn. The polymer from NatureWorks, a Cargill co., is fully compostable and can be used as a soil amendment. Film's glossy surface is treated for enhanced ink adhesion. Material handling characteristics are similar to polymer, says Green Bay, and film is stiff and strong for high-speed converting.
