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.
