An Inconvenient Truth: A Global Warning DVD packaged in EarthFirst PLA film

Plastic Suppliers has provided the packaging for the DVD of An Inconvenient Truth: A Global Warning.

The unnerving motion picture illustrates the dire effects of global warming and how people can commit to reversing this destructive cycle by minimizing carbon dioxide emissions. Paramount Pictures produced the documentary and capitalized on environmentally-friendly packaging to fuse the picture’s message with action. Traditional thermoformed DVD cases were replaced by 100 per cent post-consumer recycled cardboard jackets fitted in clear sleeves made from 1.6 mil EarthFirst PLA film.

EarthFirst PLA film is made with NatureWorks PLA resin from NatureWorks LLC. The resin is made from 100 per cent field corn grown in the USA. One of the major benefits of using EarthFirst PLA film is its compostability, a claim that cannot be made for petroleum-based plastics. Using 100 pounds of EarthFirst PLA film versus 100 pounds of a petrochemical plastic film spares 14 gallons of gasoline, eliminates six weeks worth of CO2 emissions from an automobile, or produces enough energy to power a 100-watt light bulb for eight months. Plastic Suppliers, Inc. uses a patent pending process to manufacture this innovative film. Replacing petroleum-based packaging films with EarthFirst PLA film is one way in which you can help repair our environment while showing your commitment to a greater cause.
