Disposable Plates, Containers, Bowls, Trays, Cup Holders - All Recycleable, Biodegradable Tableware.

Azusa, Ca – June 6, 2009 – PrimeWare has just recently introduced its newest product, PLA (polylactic acid) lined hinged lid containers.  PrimeWare’s addition of PLA lining to bagasse hinged lid containers is the first of its kind on the market.  PLA lining is so revolutionary because it puts to rest many people’s issues with extremely hot foods or heavy sauces in bagasse containers.  The PLA lining on bagasse creates not only a complete moisture barrier, but also a total grease barrier.

PrimeWare’s sales manager Sarah Kritscher says, “We have had great feedback about our new PLA-lined containers which were introduced at the National Restaurant Show...

Numerous large distributors and restaurants came to see the introduction of this new product and were impressed. Many of the companies placing hot food in bagasse containers have previously received complaints from customers who bring their food home to find soft containers with moisture on the bottom. The PLA-lining keeps all of the Eco-Friendly components while adding an extra layer for strength and protection, virtually eliminating all prior issues. Bagasse is an affordable alternative to Styrofoam and has now become an option for basically all types of food, hot or cold.”

Regular “plastic-looking” PLA containers don’t hold up well to heat.  The PLA lining on a bagasse container is much more heat resistant because the PLA sheet is very thin and is, in essence, “melted” onto the container. The PLA lining is made from cornstarch, which is biodegradable and compostable, keeping the Eco-Friendly properties of PrimeWare's entire line.

The rest of PrimeWare's line includes: "un-lined" hinged lid containers, plates, bowls, platters, trays, cup carriers, and utility trays.
