Most of the plastic used in our STEM products is made from polylactic acid (PLA), a plant-based material designed with the future in mind.

Offering several important environmental benefits:

Made from Renewable Resources

Derived from plant starches such as corn and sugarcane, reducing reliance on fossil fuels.

Lower Carbon Footprint

Requires less energy to produce and generates significantly fewer greenhouse gas emissions compared to conventional petroleum-based plastics.

Industrial Compostable

Breaks down in industrial composting facilities within weeks to months into non-toxic, natural elements—helping reduce landfill waste.

Minimal Microplastic Impact

Unlike traditional plastics, PLA generally breaks down into natural components rather than long-lasting microplastics.
