Our R-PLA white regrind (recycled polylactic acid) is a responsible, safe, and high-performance solution for companies committed to environmental sustainability. It is made from 100% post-industrial waste (PIR) originating from thermoformed food packaging, pre-colored with fully biodegradable masterbatch, and CSI-certified for fully recycled content.
Thanks to a precise selection and controlled mechanical grinding process, the material is supplied in white flake form. It is ideal for compound production, extrusion, and any application requiring a white-colored base material. The flakes can also be easily pigmented with opaque shades to achieve the desired tone. It is a bio-based material, biodegradable under industrial conditions, offering good technical performance and reduced environmental impact.
Through careful selection and recycling, Biogeo R-PLA ensures consistent high quality suitable for various industrial and creative sectors.
Biogeo R-PLA white regrind: practical solutions for sustainable sectors
White R-PLA regrind is a sustainable choice with high environmental and economic value. Unlike granule R-PLA, this version skips the regranulation step, making it more cost-effective for companies with in-house regranulation or compounding capabilities. Its applications are as broad and comparable to granules—from the creation of sustainable biodegradable compounds to the extrusion of sheets, 3D printing (post-regranulation), agriculture, biodegradable packaging, and eco-innovative design.
White or colored R-PLA regrind is especially suitable for applications requiring consistent coloring, offering an effective and affordable biodegradable solution for those seeking to reduce costs without compromising sustainability.
Why choose our Biogeo R-PLA regrind?
Choosing our R-PLA regrind means giving new life to valuable materials, reducing environmental impact, and showing a concrete commitment to the circular economy. Each flake is the result of a precise mechanical recycling process that enhances post-industrial waste while preserving the original quality of the material.
That’s why more and more companies choose Biogeo R-PLA regrind:
- 100% recycled and recyclable, for a truly sustainable production cycle
- Bio-based and compostable: ideal for sectors focused on renewable, compostable materials

PIR and PCR: two acronyms, two materials, two prices
PIR and PCR often get used as if they were two ways of saying “recycled”. They aren’t. They’re two different materials, born in two different worlds — and that difference in origin decides three things a buyer actually cares about: performance, price, and what you can declare. Let’s take them in turn. The two acronyms,
Recycled Post-Industrial PLA (R-PLA): Properties, Certifications and Applications
PLA is the most widely used bioplastic in the world, but its story doesn’t end with the first use. When clean production scrap is recovered and reprocessed, you get recycled PLA — a material that is bio-based and recycled at the same time. This guide explains what R-PLA is, how it’s made, what properties and certifications it has,
How a batch of recycled material is qualified
“Recycled”, printed on a datasheet, isn’t enough. When a buyer receives a batch of recycled material, the question that matters isn’t “is it recycled?” but “can you prove what it is — batch after batch?”. Qualifying a batch means lining up four things that hold together: the stream it comes from, the consistency between one batch and the
