PLA Corn Fiber Tea Bag Filter Mesh
PLA (corn fiber) filter material
PLA Corn Fiber Tea Bag Filter Mesh rolls with string and tag
Biodegradable PLA mesh made from plant-based polylactic acid. The premium option for brands that want a plastic-free story.
PLA is the most expensive of the four materials, and demand for it is growing fastest as tea brands move toward biodegradable packaging.
Quote PLA (corn fiber) rollsWhy brands choose PLA
- Made from polylactic acid, a polymer produced from plant starch such as corn
- Positioned as the biodegradable, plastic-free alternative to nylon and PET
- Transparent woven mesh that keeps the premium look of a pyramid bag
- Same roll widths, tag pitches and tagging process as nylon
PLA costs more than nylon, PET and nonwoven. Many tea brands still choose it because retailers and consumers increasingly ask for biodegradable packaging.
Compostability depends on the grade and on composting conditions. Ask us which certificates are available for the PLA grade you plan to use.
