Finding the most suitable final destination for packaging made from
polylactic acid (PLA) can feel like trying to make your way out of a
maze. A maze with more than one exit, and where the PLA players find it
hard to agree on the right path to the finish.
Near to
PLA’s roots in the US Mid-West is Eric Lombardi, who runs a recycling
operation in Colorado and is also president of the GrassRoots Recycling
Network (GRRN). He and a loose alliance of recycling groups have thrown
down a challenge to Cargill-owned NatureWorks, which manufactures PLA
in Nebraska: provide a viable end-of-life solution for PLA containers –
specifically bottles – or impose a moratorium on new applications until
you have one.
