Annually Renewable Resources – Field corn is harvested and broken down into its various food and feed components, one of which is corn sugar or dextrose.
Fermentation – The dextrose is fermented and distilled into a substance called lactic acid.
Production – This lactic acid is transformed into NatureWorks PLA, and then formed into packaging, bottles, serviceware and consumer goods applications.
Disposal – Articles such as packaging and serviceware will break down in composting. The composted material can be used to grow more corn.
Reduced Fossil Fuel Use – Because it’s made from an annually renewable resource. NatureWorks PLA uses up to 68% less fossil fuel energy than traditional plastics.
Reduced CO2 Emissions – NatureWorks PLA is the world’s first geenhouse gas-neutral polymer
History of the fruit – The origin of Clementines is shrouded in mystery. Some attribute their discovery to father Clement, a monk in Algeria, who tending his mandarin garden in the orphanage of Misserghim, found a natural mutation. He nurtured the fruit tree and subsequently called it “clementino”.
Clementines were first brought to the United States in 1982. Knowledgeable industry people soon recognized them as a fruit with great market potential. Nevertheless, it took 10 years of persistence, imagination and plan hard work to make this latecomer of the citrus family the undisputed citrus choice of children and adults alike.
Today Clementines are grown in Spain, Morocco, South Africa, Peru, Chile, Australia and California. Clementines are the tiniest of the mandarins and are a cross between a sweet orange and a Chinese mandarin. Most people think of clementines as a small tangerine, but they’re a different variety entirely, with a distinctive taste.
