Polylactide (PLA)

PLA, an eco-friendly, biodegradable polymer, mirrors the properties of PET and PS. Formed from lactic acid polymerization, variants like Poly-L-lactide (PLLA) exhibit high tensile strength and could be successfully used in various industries.

PLA from coffee waste presents an innovative, renewable source for these applications. As sustainability takes center stage, PLA’s market is set for substantial growth.

Polylactide in action

Biodegradable Flower Pots

Our EcoBean Flower Pots are a sustainable and ecological substitute for plastic nursery pots. They are produced from Spent Coffee Grounds (50%) and biodegradable polymer, and as a result, they can be placed into the ground together with any plant. EcoBean Flower Pots biodegrade within 6 to 12 months from being planted, depending on soil and weather conditions.
