Facts

Cornstarch is derived from maize, the most widely cultivated cereal worldwide. The United States is the primary producer of maize, and the bulk of it is utilized for livestock feed as a source of biofuel. The process of producing cornstarch involves: 

- Soaking corn kernels softens them, allowing for the subsequent breakdown of their structure to extract the starch effectively

- The starch is then purified and processed into Polylactic Acid (PLA), a type of bioplastic.

Frequently Asked Questions 

What distinguishes corn starch cutlery from sugarcane cutlery?

Corn starch cutlery, also known as PLA (Polylactic Acid), is crafted from renewable sources like corn starch. Derived from corn kernels, it's a plant-based material processed into a biopolymer through fermentation. This biopolymer is then molded into utensils such as spoons, forks, and knives.

In contrast, sugarcane cutlery is made from bagasse, the fibrous residue left from sugarcane processing. Through heat and pressure, bagasse transforms into a pulp-like substance, which is shaped into various utensils, providing an eco-friendly alternative.

What are the advantages of cornstarch tableware? 

- Serves as an eco-friendly substitute for plastic, which helps reduce carbon footprints and promote sustainability.

- Biodegradable and compostable, meaning it breaks down naturally over time without harming the environment.

- It is safe for food contact and free from harmful chemicals that some plastics may release when exposed to heat or certain foods.

- Durable and sturdy, suitable for various events and occasions, from casual outdoor gatherings to formal dinner parties.
