Wilkinson Industries is a leader in the
extrusion and thermoforming of plastic food service packaging
nationwide. Now in North America, Wilkinson is the first
manufacturer to make a commercially thermoformed all natural
plastic container made from 100% NatureWorks™ PLA, a
polymer derived from corn and other plants.
NaturesPLAstic™ exhibits superior
performance characteristics compared to traditional plastic
aspects and recycles back into the environment. This uniquely
sustainable packaging performs well under low temperatures and
provides excellent strength to resist cracking. The high
clarity and superior flavor and aroma barriers compares
exceedingly well to traditional plastics. Using up to 50%
fewer fossil resources than oil-based products, NaturesPLAstic™
keeps a balance in nature by giving back the carbon dioxide
and water it borrowed from the corn or other plants to make
the world’s most natural plastic. From a post consumer
standpoint, the innovative compost properties of NatureWorks™
PLA makes NaturesPLAstic™ the packaging key to our present and
future environmental needs.
