EARTHFIRST™ PLA

Plastic Suppliers, a manufacturer, and distributor of oriented plastic film, is proud to introduce their newest product, EarthFirst™ PLA film. EarthFirst PLA film utilizes NatureWorks® PLA resin from NatureWorks LLC. Unlike petrochemical-based resins, this unique film is 100% compostable since it is made from the annually renewable resource, corn.

Recognizing that we are all stewards of our environment, we are excited to enter into a co-branding agreement with Plastic Suppliers regarding this forward-thinking and promising new product. The typical properties of EarthFirst PLA film are just as good and often better than comparable plastic films. Plastic Suppliers offers clear, matte, and white versions of EarthFirst PLA film, all boasting exceptional characteristics. Current uses for EarthFirst PLA film include pressure-sensitive labels, flexible packaging, shrink sleeves, and wrap-around label
applications.

Without compromising quality and function, people can now feel more confident about choosing packaging that is both FDA compliant and environmentally friendly.
