Read on to learn more about our cornstarch trays.
How Are Cornstarch Trays Made?
Very simply, cornstarch trays are food-safe containers made of eco-friendly cornstarch. Hailed as the future of food storage, these trays are manufactured from the polylactic acid (PLA) found in cornstarch. To convert corn into plastic, the kernels are submerged in hot water and sulfur dioxide.
In this mixture, the components break down into fiber, protein, and starch. Then, the kernels are ground up and the corn oil is separated from the starch. Once citric acid is added, it creates long-chain polymers, which are the building blocks for plastic.
PLAs can behave and look identical to several popular plastic materials:
- Polyethylene, which is a key building block in bottles, plastic films, and more.
- Polypropylene that is used in textiles, auto parts, and packaging
- Polystyrene that is used in plastic cutlery and Styrofoam.
How Do Cornstarch Trays Feel?
Manufacturing cornstarch trays result in substantially less environmental impacts than other petrochemical-based plastics. And due to the fact cornstarch trays are not made from plastics or chemicals, there are no toxic materials that can leak into your food. Best of all, cornstarch trays look and feel like traditional plastic food packaging materials.
