Technology and the Machine to Make Compostable Coffee Cups
Compostable PLA coffee cups is an important market. Straight PLA is used if is reached enough crystallinity. This presentation will show the key factor for manufacturing PLA compostable coffee cups. A step further is compostable barrier solution. This is possible thanks to the evolution of the technology: a simple 5 layer (PLA/ tie/barrier/tie/PLA) solution is shown.

Don’t just take our word for it
I strongly recommend Innovation Takes Root. It's a good opportunity to understand and see what happens in this area of biopolymers. It's an international event and not just on PLA. I think it's well done, well-managed, and well-organized. It was a good investment for me.
Innovation Expert - Polymers, Electrolux
I'd definitely come back (to ITR) and recommend it. I think many different industries could learn something from a conference like this - it really is focused on the next level of sustainability.
Vice President, Titan Robotics
It has been a wonderful event; very well organized. I especially appreciate the scheduling of activities, the alternation of speeches, and time to network, which has been one of the key successes from my point of view. We also felt very supported by your team; we had the feeling you believe in what Flo is doing and, for us, that's very important.
