Polylactic acid (PLA) is a new type of bio-based material with good biodegradability, biocompatibility, thermal stability, solvent resistance, and easy processing. It is widely used in clothing manufacturing, construction, and medical and health care. It is one of the earliest applications of synthetic biology in the field of materials. At present, as an environmentally friendly bio-based biodegradable material, polylactic acid has a good application prospect, and global production capacity continues to increase.
PLA can degrade buried in the fertilizer within two years.
PLA is be a substitute for traditional plastics, and it is popular for customers to applied to life.Such as PLA straw and PLA Bag.
PLA is usually made from genetically modified corn. The world’s largest PLA producer is NatureWorks, a subsidiary of CarGill, which is the world’s largest supplier of genetically modified corn seeds.
The material is good for our environment and reduce pollution.
