Since the PLA casting film production conference was held at the China Packaging Container Exhibition PACKPCON2021 in Shanghai on July 14, 2021, the PLA cast film products broadcast in Zhejiang have received wide attention from the industry.The first set of PLA casting film production unit, which took 4 years for the technical team to develop independently, has successfully enabled many head manufacturers in the pulp molding industry to carry out product innovation and function upgrading.

Advantage one:

As the second largest biodegradable polymer material in the world, polylactic acid (PLA) has a global production capacity of 300000 tons by 2021.

In the process of developing the application of PLA, Zhejiang sowing uses the self-developed PLA copolymerization technology to solve the shortcomings such as poor toughness and low melt strength of PLA, and broadens the processing means of PLA thin films, so that the film can be manufactured by efficient and flat casting method.


Advantage two:

The industrial chain of polylactic acid is immature. Up to now, there is no manufacturer specializing in casting film in the application of polylactic acid resin all over the world.

Zhejiang Broadcasting uses its own technical advantages to cut in at the right time, becoming the first professional supplier of PLA casting film in the industry, reducing the cost of PLA film, improving the supply capacity, and greatly expanding the market capacity.


Application case 1: film coating of lunch box.

Pulp molded products coated with PLA film can solve the problem of waterproof and oil-proof products, avoid the problem of excessive fluoride content of traditional oil-proof agents, improve the food contact safety of pulp products, and further improve the user experience of pulp molded products.


Application case 2: sealing film of milk tea.

In China's hot drink market, paper cups are the main products. Under the plastic ban craze in China, most hot drink brands have replaced straws with biodegradable straws. At the same time, some big brands with a strong sense of social responsibility have begun to try a full set of solutions, namely: biodegradable straw + PLA coated paper cup + PLA sealing film.

Application case 3: sealing film of pulp tableware.

In the take-away market, which is popular in the central kitchen, the number of businesses trying biodegradable lunch boxes is gradually increasing. Sealing the degradable lunch box with a transparent PLA film can improve the visibility of the meal.


BOXAI was established in 2017, committed to become the world’s leading developer of PLA materials applications. The mission of Zhejiang BOXAI is to widen the application of bio-degradable material!
