Why Distillers are Turning to Compostable PLA Capsules & What is PLA(polylactic acid) ?
Sustainability is transforming the spirits industry, with consumers increasingly prioritizing eco-friendly packaging. Distillers who adopt compostable PLA (plant based) capsules are making a forward-thinking choice—enhancing their brand’s environmental responsibility while maintaining premium quality.

Biobased & Renewable Origins

Our PLA capsules are made from annually renewable, plant-based resources such as corn and sugarcane. This biobased approach significantly reduces greenhouse gas emissions by 75% compared to traditional plastics, making it an impactful step toward sustainability. By integrating eco-friendly closures, distilleries can appeal to environmentally conscious consumers while supporting a greener supply chain.

Performance-Driven Design

Sustainability doesn’t mean compromising durability or aesthetics. Our lightweight, high-performance plant based capsules (PLA)maintain the luxury look and feel of traditional plastic while featuring a lower sealing temperature, which enhances energy efficiency during production. This innovation ensures seamless integration with existing bottling processes, helping brands achieve sustainability without added complexity.

Supporting the Circular Economy

PLA capsules contribute to a circular economy by naturally breaking down in industrial composting facilities — and in some regions, even in green compost bins. Unlike conventional plastics, which linger in landfills for centuries, these capsules decompose into valuable organic matter, minimizing waste and reducing environmental impact.

Global Regulatory Compliance & Market Readiness

As packaging regulations tighten worldwide, distillers must stay ahead of the curve. Our compostable PLA capsules align with Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) regulations, which emphasize sustainable packaging solutions. Choosing Bostocap’s eco-friendly closures not only helps brands meet compliance standards but also enhances their commitment to sustainable business practices.

Industry Insights: Why Leading Distillers Choose PLA

“Choosing PLA capsules reflects our dedication to sustainability and innovation. These renewable materials align seamlessly with our values, offering quality without compromise. By implementing automated systems, we ensured precise application, enhancing efficiency and consistency. Managing temperature sensitivity required careful planning, but it allowed us to fine-tune our processes for optimal performance. The compostable nature of PLA also inspired us to explore additional ways to reduce our environmental footprint and further promote sustainable alternatives to traditional plastics.”
