Backpack made from corn waste, PLA material from corn starch. With drawstrings. Capacity approx. 8 litres. The by-product of corn is called PLA. PLA (polyactic acid) is usually made from the sugars in cornstarch, cassava or sugar cane. PLA is 100% biodegradable and 100% compostable. To make a kind of plastic (PLA) from maize, the maize grains are mixed with sulfur dioxide in hot water, so that all components in this mixture develop again into starch, proteins and fibres. Yarn is made from the fibers and a bag can be developed from it. The logo of “bio bag compostable – made of corn” is printed on the bag as standard.
