Injection moulded reusable tableware made with Hemcell bio-based polylactic acid (PLA) mixed with palm leaf waste. This innovative material is home compostable as a result of the unique process Hemcell use. The PLA is partially degraded during processing, which opens up the polymer structure. This produces a material with some performance enhancements, like higher stiffness and heat deflection temperature (HDT), but also the possibility to be home compostable at relatively thick wall sections. Once exposed to heat, humidity, sunlight and microorganisms, the material starts to breakdown naturally.
