PLA Fabric
Acme Mills Co. has unveiled Natura, a new line of bio-based polylactic acid (PLA) fabrics. This innovative product range is designed to replace petroleum-based materials like PET, PP, and Nylon, offering a sustainable alternative without compromising on quality or functionality. Natura marks a significant step forward in reducing environmental impact.
The product line features different types of textiles such as spunbond nonwovens, needled felts, hydroentangled, and melt-blown materials. These fabrics cater to various sectors, including food and beverage, packaging, automotive, furniture, healthcare, and filtration.
“Natura is more than just a product; it’s a reflection of our dedication to sustainability and innovation,” said Matt Utley, Chief of Strategy at Acme Mills. “By providing a bio-based alternative, we are helping industries adopt eco-friendly practices without sacrificing performance.”
Using materials like corn starch and sugarcane, these fabrics decompose under industrial composting conditions. With insights from sustainability leaders like NatureWorks, Natura fabrics offer a lower environmental footprint, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and dependence on fossil fuels.
