Friday was the bombshell of the week. ConAgra is utilizing 50% recycled "post consumer waste" with NatureWorks PLA. They refer to the product as recycled PLA, and note the reduced use of PVC and PETG by weight. This is cool stuff. The first marriage, as for as I can tell, of recycled plastic and biodegradable plastic. They do not reference it being biodegradable.
Why is this so cool? Bioplastic and Recycled plastic as one. The two didn't like each other to much either. And the news in Feb. was that NatureWorks got PLA out of the recycled plastic waste stream with help from Unisensor. Important news for this market segment.
