Why create the Corntainer Corporation? (1337 views)

Corntainers Corp was organized in response to a need for developed countries to reduce their addiction to petroleum. It is our belief that over use of petroleum is bad for our economy and for our eco system. Numerous companies have been organized recently to produce automotive fuel from renewable resources. Our goal is to produce any and all consumer products from non-petroleum renewable resources.

Our first product is a 250MM bottle.

Is this product really made out of corn? (1484 views)

Absolutely.

Using a corn yield of 130 bushels per acre, we can produce about 54,000 bottles per acre of corn.

NATUREWORKS� LLC purchases corn and under intense heat, reduces the corn to polyactide acid (�PLA�). 100 bushels of corn are required per 1 metric ton of NATUREWORKS � PLA.

NATUREWORKS� PLA is the worlds first commercially available greenhouse-gas-neutral polymer. By achieving zero greenhouse gas emissions, fossil fuel consumption is decreased by 65% compared to traditional plastic.

The polymer is sent to a preform manufacturer who prepares preforms that can be molded into final products such as Corntainer Corps� 250MML bottles.
