Cordless Phone from Biopolymer

From: Plastics Technology
Issue: January 2010

WEB EXCLUSIVE: Telecom Italia’s new Eco Cordless phone has a shell injection molded from Ingeo polylactic acid (PLA) biopolymer, made by NatureWorks LLC, Minnetonka, Minn. Molded by Femto Engineering S.r.l. in Italy, the phone gains the necessary toughness from an impact modifier masterbatch made by Sukano Products Ltd. of Switzerland (U.S. office in Duncan, S.C.).

Other recent Ingeo PLA applications include snack packaging film for Frito-Lay SunChips, coated hot cups on KLM flights, and car mats for the Toyota Prius. (952) 742-0400 • natureworksllc.com (888) 278-5266 • sukano.com
