Compostable Plastic, Minnesota

I'm hesitant to include too much PLA on this list, as it's a type of bioplastic that can only biodegrade in a commercial compost facility. If PLA makes its way into a landfill or ocean it will persist for as long as petroleum based plastics. That said PLA is a better option that regular plastic, and so far no other bioplastics have proven themselves as versatile as PLA. Nature Works manufactures Ingeo, which has become the main brand of PLA bags, liners, and containers. Many of the other manufacturers on this list sell their own products made with Ingeo.
