Corn starch plastic is made from polylactic acid (PLA), which is a plastic substitute, made from fermented plant starch. It is becoming a popular alternative to traditional plastic, which is derived from petroleum based chemicals. Being a natural polymer means the corn starch is biodegradable and compostable. The different uses of polylactic acid could be a way of how to reduce a carbon footprint that is left by fossil fuel plastics.

The rain cape has been a popular giveaway at events and outdoor exhibitions since it is not only useful but also displays the brand. However the nature of the rain cape is that very often these products can be easily discard after an event creating a plastic waste issue. The corn starch cape removes the disposability problem. Thus it prevents micro plastic particles entering our environment and food chain. Being fully compostable this product will return its nutrients naturally to the soil.
