scale in the United States to replace petroleum (oil) based plastics that rely on a substance we must import. Corn-based products are also carbon neutral because the plants they are made from absorb an equal amount of carbon dioxide as is produced to harvest the crop.


Q: What is PLA? A: PLA stands for polylactic acid, which is a polymer that is used to make a replacement for oil-based plastics. PLA is made from lactic acid, which is created when the dextrose (starch) found in biomass like corn is fermented. Today

almost all PLA is created from corn, but in the future PLA will be made from other crops, including sugar beets, sugarcane, and rice, depending on what’s available locally.


Q: How are sugarcane food containers, plates, and bowls made? A: Sugarcane has a long, fibrous stalk that contains a sweet juice. Sugar and many other things are made from the extracted juice, leaving the stalk behind. This leftover is called Bagasse, and it has traditionally been burned or discarded. Disposable sugarcane products are made using Bagasse, taking a previously unusable by-product and turning it into a fully compostable plate, bowl, or food container.


Q: What does post-consumer recycled material mean? A: Post-consumer means the materials are recycled after they are used by consumers and discarded. Compostable hot cups are partially (about 25%) made from post-consumer recycled materials. Not only is it sustainable to use recycled materials, buying products made from those recycled materials

helps stimulate demand, meaning more will be recycled in the future.


Q: What kinds of compostable products are available for use in a restaurant? A: Corn cold cups (PLA), post-consumer recycled fiber hot cups, sugarcane food containers, and high heat PLA cutlery are all examples of products that can be put to use in a restaurant. Make sure these products are BPI certified, as this is the gold standard for compostable products. Checking for BPI certification eliminates “greenwashed” products that claim they are compostable but really aren’t. To find a composting facility near you, visit findacomposter.com


How a Product Becomes BPI Certified


The Biodegradable Products Institute (BPI) is a professional association that uses a scientifically based process to certify that products are actually compostable according to an established set of standards.


This is a vital service for consumers of compostable and biodegradable products like restaurants because “greenwashing” – the practice of slapping


a compostable or biodegradable logo on an existing product without certifying actual performance – has increasingly become a problem over the past few years.


The BPI process includes sampling and testing the raw materials of a product then sampling and testing the actual product in a laboratory environment to ensure performance.


So look for BPI certification when buying compostable or biodegradable products and make sure those products actually do what they say they’re going to do.
