This film is compostable; it is made from the annually-renewable resource corn, instead of from petrochemicals. Field corn is arvested, broken down into its component chemicals and fermented. Some of these materials, like lactic acid, are converted into resins, which become plastic. This plastic can later be composed, and used to grow more corn. "I believe the Great Creator has put ores and oil on this earth to give us a breathing spell… As we exhaust them, we must be prepared to fall back on our farms, which are God's true storehouse and can never be exhausted. For we can learn to synthesize materials for every human need from the things that grow" - George Washington Carver (1864-1943) The above quotation, and, with a bit of editing, the first paragraph, were taken from sidaplex.com and should be revised for EcoEndure's purposes, or deleted entirely.
