PLA sheet is a mature bio-based biodegradable material made from starch resources. It fully decomposes into CO₂ and water within six months without microplastics. Featuring high transparency, gloss, food safety, high strength and rigidity, it also offers breathability and water resistance, ideal for fresh produce and display packaging.

PLA (Polylactic Acid) sheet is a novel, eco-friendly polymeric material derived from bio-based resources—such as corn and cassava starch—through a process involving the fermentation of lactic acid followed by polymerization. It is currently one of the most mature and widely applied biodegradable plastics available on the market.
Fully Biodegradable: Under industrial composting conditions, PLA sheets decompose into water and carbon dioxide within six months, generating no microplastic pollution.
Superior Visual Appeal: Boasting exceptional transparency and gloss, its visual aesthetics rival those of PET (polyester) sheets, making it ideally suited for display packaging applications.
Biocompatibility and Safety: Naturally non-toxic and exhibiting excellent biocompatibility, it is a recognized food-grade material.
Physical Properties: Characterized by high tensile strength and modulus, as well as significant hardness and robust structural support.
Breathable yet Water-Resistant: Possesses inherent breathability, which aids in preserving the freshness of packaged fruits and vegetables.
Jwell started manufacturing screws and barrels in 1978, making it one of the earliest screw and barrel manufacturers in China. Its brand, "Jinhailuo", has become well recognized in the industry. In 1997, Jwell was established to begin the production of extrusion machinery. Today, Jwell is the vice president unit of the China Plastics Machinery Industry Association and one of the technology leaders in the extrusion machinery industry.
