BIOTAPE is an adhesive tape made of PLA, a biopolymer deriving from corn starch.
PLA is completely biodegradable in a few months and for this reason a sustainable alternative to petrochemical derivative products such as PVC and Polypropylene, originates from the fermentation of agricultural by-products such as corn starch or other substances rich in carbohydrates, such as sugar or the grain.
Main advantages of PLA film:
Better recovery opportunities, 100% renewable
Requires a lower requirement of fossil energy
Generates lower greenhouse gas emissions
Biodegradability and compostability
Excellent properties: stiffness, strength and transparency
