Ecocreation PLA Consortium
This Ecocreation PLA consortium is a unique product capable of digesting PLA packaging, PLA disposables or PLA elements in other materials in 48 hours. PLA stands for polylactic acid and is one of the most widely used bioplastics for disposable food and beverage products. The Ecocreation PLA consortium is one of the key elements in the process of the Ecocreation PLA machine. This machine is specifically designed for this process.
Ongoing and intensive research has produced a bacteria consortium that greatly accelerates the natural phenomenon of biodegradable waste and PLA products. In fact, it truly enables the on-site biodegradation of PLA products. And the consortium optimises the operation of rapid digestion processes of organic waste, eliminating the need for processing in some industrial facility. The consortium was jointly developed with the design and construction of the Ecocreation PLA machine for the digestion of organic waste and PLA products.
PLA material
Ecocreation PLA machines are equipped with additional features for processing PLA material, creating the right environment for the PLA consortium to be operational. This type of Ecocreation PLA machines is adapted to the customer's packaging characteristics.
The PLA consortium and the Ecocreation PLA machine can be used for organic waste recovery in conjunction with PLA-based disposable food and beverage products and packaging.
This opens up huge opportunities for the Out Of Home market, which includes Food Service, restaurants, hotels & hospitality, industrial & commercial catering, retail, grocery, education, healthcare, facility management and so on.
Opportunities
It enables the creation of new catering service models where huge savings can be made on supply chain and labour. Existing services can be transformed into a fully disposable catering service where the supply chain becomes shorter and more efficient, less labour is required and waste can be treated on site, providing additional savings and better hygiene.
For example, food products can be pre-packed centrally, in one place, and then distributed and consumed elsewhere. The waste containing packaging, cutlery and organic waste is then processed together on site in the Ecocreation machine. In this way, huge savings on local food processing are achievable. This applies to chains of care homes, schools, and the like.
In practice
Ecocreation has extensive experience in serving events such as dance festivals itself and indirectly by its customers such as waste management companies. Through the PLA consortium, a wide variety of food and drink disposables can be digested at once. These can be cellulose, paper, bagasse and PLA disposables in any combination and mixture. Government institutions, universities and other catering establishments can also benefit from the PLA consortium, as food and beverage disposables and organic waste are digested in the same machine, in the same time.
The Ecocreation PLA consortium combines several strains of micro-organisms in a unique formulation for the rapid degradation of category 3 waste, PLA and cellulose-rich materials such as paper, cardboard and sugarcane-based products.
Speed
The synergy created between the micro-organisms allows them to digest many types of organic material in combination with PLA-based disposables in a very short time. The Ecocreation PLA consortium enables Ecocreation's high-speed composters to achieve maximum efficiency and get the composting process up and running quickly. Ecocreation PLA works in conjunction with Ecocreation PLA digesters:
✓ Greatly improves the rate of biodegradation, complete reduction in a few days
✓ Increase the range of compostable waste fractions
✓ Reduces energy consumption
Hygiene phase
The Ecocreation PLA consortium ensures the biological start of degradation while limiting the spread of pathogenic germs. Unlike pathogenic germs, Ecocreation PLA consortium resists the hygiene phase: 1 hour at 70 degrees Celsius. Ecocreation Cat3 complies with European standards and regulations for composting with animal by-products.
The advantages:
Organic waste
becomes a valuable raw material: compost
Less waste
so less costs
Less transport
so less pollution
Less fertilizer needed
thus less depletion of fossil resources and less pollution
CO2
reduce your CO2 emissions
