• Design: Typically available unbleached, though bleached options are occasionally available. The containers are soak proof and do not have any plastic or wax lining, however hot foods – and in particular hot, heavy foods – will cause the containers to “perspire” and some condensation can form at the bottom.
• Composting: Composting is required for biodegradation. These compostable clamshells are certified according to ASTM D6400 specifications. The clamshells will biodegrade within 30 days in a commercial composting facility, and within 90 days in a home composting system.

Clear Corn Clamshells (PLA):

• Overview / Material: Made from NatureWorks polylactic acid (PLA), which is derived from corn grown in the USA.
• Applications: Great for fruit, salads, cold sides, and warm dishes less than 110 degrees F.
• Sizes: Range in size from 6″x6″x3″ to 8″x8″x3″.
• Design: Meet the strictest scientific standards for biodegradability and compostability and are ASTM D6400-99 certified for “compostable plastics”. They are light and strong like plastic, but will fully biodegrade when composted.
• Storage: Should be stored in an environment that is less than 110 degrees F and not in direct sunlight or contact with heat.
• Composting: Composting is required for biodegradation. These biodegradable clamshells are certified compostable by the BPI and will biodegrade within 180 days in a commercial composting facility, but may take up to a year or more to biodegrade in a home composting system.
