The Bamboo Press 6: The Lastic Resin Advantage

Updated: May 11, 2023


Lastic offers several types of Lastic Bamboo Resin. Each has differing specifications for differing applications.
Lastic's Bamboo Resin Bouquet

The previous week's Bamboo Press examined the advantages of Lastic Bamboo Resin-made end products. Indeed, Lastic Bamboo Resin can make several applications—like straws, food boxes, cutlery, and lids.


Today, we'll examine the advantages of Lastic Bamboo Resin and its production process.


OEM Resin and End-Product Manufacturer


Lastic is neither a trading company nor an intermediary: they manufacture their cutting-edge bamboo resin at their own facility in Taiwan. Moreover, Lastic also produces biodegradable end products like straws, utensils, food boxes, and more. And Lastic will help their bamboo-resin customers source machinery used to produce these applications.


Lastic Bamboo Resin is Proven to be Biodegradable and Compostable


Lastic possesses biodegradation, compostability, food-contact safety, and production-quality accreditation from several certifiers. Some include those from Germany's DIN (Deutsche Industrial Norms) and the AS5810, which prove, among other things, a product's biodegradation and compostability.


Lastic also has food-contact certificates from government/intergovernmental agencies, like the US's FDA (Food and Drug Administration). These certifications deem Lastic's products and resin safe for food contact.


And finally, Lastic holds a few ISO certifications. ISO stands for the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). Earning ISO certifications proves Lastic meets certain production standards, specifically safety and quality ones.


Here are just a few of the quality certifications that Lastic holds:


· DIN Biodegradable Certification for both industrial and home and garden composting

· ISO 22000 and ISO 9000

· FDA approved for food contact


Fortunately, Lastic Bamboo Resin has many other certifications as well as favorable test results, but they are too numerous to describe in this short-form blog!

Lastic Bamboo Resin is Cheaper Than Bio-based PBS


Bio-based PBS is genuinely a groundbreaking materials science innovation because it can produce many biodegradable/compostable applications. Lastic uses bio-based PBS as one of the critical inputs to create Lastic Bamboo Resin. Unfortunately, bio-based PBS fetches a steep premium. Lastic Bamboo Resin, on the other hand, sells for substantially less. Send us a message for pricing.


Lastic Bamboo Resin Contains 0.000% Conventional Plastic


Some products deemed "plastic-free and eco-friendly," like paper straws, actually contain plastic. You read it correctly: many of those short-life spanned and uncomfortable-to-put-in-your-mouth paper straws have a thin plastic film layer within their interior. Manufacturers put this plastic layer in paper straws to prevent them from becoming too soggy.


Lastic Bamboo Resin presents a solid, purely compostable, and eco-friendly alternative to plastics and other plastic replacements. Visit the Island Leaf Commodities homepage to learn more about Lastic Bamboo Resin!
