Studies have shown that a significant portion of plastic packaging goes unrecycled in South Africa due to challenges in processing certain types of plastics, leaving the environment vulnerable to pollution and harm. Enviromall's compostable PLA bags represent a solution to this pressing issue. Unlike some conventional plastics that are made with a chemical-based film, Enviromall's PLA bags are made from Polylactic Acid (PLA) derived from renewable plant-based materials. This makes them suitable for industrial composting, leaving no harmful residues behind and minimising environmental impact.

Enviromall is one of the few manufacturers in South Africa producing compostable PLA bags, underscoring the company's commitment to driving positive environmental change in the region and beyond.

Natalie Larkins, MD of Enviromall said, "The introduction of our compostable PLA bags marks a significant milestone in our journey towards a greener future. By harnessing the latest technology and leveraging renewable resources, we are proud to offer businesses a sustainable alternative that reduces their environmental footprint without compromising on quality or functionality."
