Seamless Processing

Futeon™ could be thermoformed on most existing production lines with minor modifications, making it a convenient option for manufacturers looking to switch to more sustainable materials. In general, pure PLA can be considered as a “drop-in” solution to PET and PS. More information about PLA’s possibilities as a substitute for fossil-based plastics is available here
