Products based on cellulose (wood pulp) and starch contain the most chemicals, according to the researchers. They also triggered “stronger toxic reactions” under laboratory conditions.

PVOH bags, sachets, and pouches fabricated from EcoSol film provide a convenient, safe, and economical delivery system for a range of products.

The polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) bioplastics maker’s agreement with Live Oak Acquisition Corp. will result in its listing on the New York Stock Exchange.
