At ECM Plastics, we manufacture specialty polymers such as PLA (polylactide, also known as corn plastic) and other biopolymers.

PLA resin is a biodegradable and compostable thermoplastic made from corn starch. It has seen explosive growth in containers, food packaging, and "green" end uses of all kinds. Some end uses require modification of the PLA polymer by way of compounding or concentrates.

Biopolymers are more environmentally friendly, as the products can be composted, incinerated or recycled while using less energy and releasing fewer toxic substances in the production process.

Our PLA and biopolymers are suitable for a wide range of processing applications such as injection molding, extrusion and coextrusion.
