Innovation is a critical driver in overcoming traditional limitations of PLA cutlery, such as brittleness and poor heat resistance, which have historically constrained broader adoption in foodservice sectors. Advanced material science developments are introducing novel bio-based additives and polymer blending techniques that substantially improve mechanical strength and thermal stability. For instance, the integration of enhanced crystallinity PLA formulations has demonstrated elevated melting points, enabling use with hotter foods without deformation.After the PLA material is crystallized during manufacture, it can resist to high temperature up to 185F. Compared with regular PLA cutlery, CPLA cutlery have better strength, higher heat-resistance and nicer appearance.
