Among the biodegradable plastics derived from plants, polylactic acid (PLA), which is the most commonly used, is an environment-friendly synthetic resin made from plant-based resins such as corn starch and sugar cane juice and lactic acid bacteria. This polylactic acid (PLA) is combined with biodegradable paper derived from the same plant to overcome the weak points of PLA such as heat resistance, durability, and difficulty of molding with Japanese advanced technology. PAPLUS® is a new thermoplastic resin that replaces petroleum-derived plastics.

PAPLUS® will be produced as a product that can be collectioed, and PAPLUS® products that have finished their role will be remanufactured.
