Time-Out Mug - coffee mug blue, BAMBOO FIBER
ZuperzozialThe Zuperzozial Cruising Travel Mug cup for the Coffee to go is made of bioplastics (PLA with plant fibres) PLA is a bioplastic The starting material for this is sugar, which is contained in plants. Think for example of cane sugar, corn, sugar beets, cassava or cereals. The plant is fermented and distilled to produce lactic acid. This lactic acid is then refined, dried and polymerised at high temperature. The resulting polymer (a type of plastic) is called PLA (Poly Lactic Acid). Here, talcum powder (5%) is added to make the material more heat-resistant, and a vegetable fibre (15%) is added as an additional organic material. The resulting granulate is then processed like other plastics to form a final product. The material is biodegradable and is made from plants and stone. In contrast to the production of other plastics, no petroleum is used in the manufacture of this bioplastic. Crude oil is becoming scarcer and its extraction and processing causes considerable environmental damage. In addition, the CO2 emissions from the production of PLA are 75% lower than those of melamine or PET, for example. The product is BPA-free and does not contain melamine or formaldehyde - Cleaning by hand is recommended - non-microwaveable - Dimensions: D: 9,5 x H: 14,5 cm |
