Virgin pulp
Viscose
PLA
Virgin pulp
Virgin pulp fibres are produced out of softwood or hardwood. The wood is subject to chemical and/or mechanical processes where the cellulose fibres are separated out and lignin and other residuals are removed. There are different methods used today for bleaching: ECF (elementary chlorine free, where chlorine dioxide is used, and TCF (totally chlorine free) where ozone, oxygen and hydrogen peroxide is used.Viscose
Viscose fibres are produced from cellulose pulp. Cellulose is dissolved in alkaline solution by a chemical reaction with carbon disulphide and then spun to fibres in an acid spinning bath. The fibres are washed, dried and cut to intended fibre length.PLA
PLA is an abbreviation for Polylactic acid. It is a thermoplastic monomer made from a renewable and organic source, in this case corn starch. This resin is spun to endless fibres through spinnerets and cooled by air. The filaments are thereafter formed into a web.Food Contact
