PLA which is a biosourced and biodegradable bioplastic films.
Distinct advantage of being both biosourced and biodegradable.
PLA is derived from renewable resources sucg as maize or sugar cane.
The fermentation of starch or sugar, extracted from these same renewable resources, results in the
production of lactic acid.
This lactic acid is then transformed into a monomer: lactide.
The polymerization of lactide is what allows the manufactiring of PLA.
Mainly suitable for apparel and food packaging.
