PLA coated lunch box paper is an environmentally friendly packaging material made of Polylactic Acid (PLA) coated on the surface of paper substrate. PLA is a biodegradable thermoplastic, which is mainly converted from natural resources such as corn starch through the fermentation process. This material not only has good physical properties, but also can be decomposed into carbon dioxide and water by microorganisms under natural conditions, which is friendly to the environment.
