Luminy® PLA starts with a single ingredient: ethically farmed sugarcane.
We ensure responsible sourcing by holding our sugarcane suppliers to a strict code of conduct—protecting ethical business practices, human and labor rights, and the environment. This commitment is built into our supplier qualification process, ensuring sustainability at every step.
Luminy® PLA is always made from GMO-free feedstocks and made with Bonsucro-certified sugarcane upon request.
Recycled Luminy® PLA grades, known as rPLA, are commercially available. Certified by SCS Global Services, Luminy® rPLA can reduce your product’s carbon footprint without compromising on look, functionality, or durability.
The recycled content is sourced from a mix of post- and pre-consumer recycled material and allocated via a mass balance method. Luminy® rPLA grades can be used in any place virgin PLA is used, including food contact applications, enabling lower carbon material options.
TotalEnergies Corbion works closely with companies, offering its technical expertise to develop compounds using Luminy® PLA. By combining PLA bioplastics with a wide range of materials, they enhance its properties, broadening its use in numerous sustainable applications.
