What is PLA ?
Polylactic acid (PLA) is a new type of bio-based and renewable biodegradable material, made from the starch raw materials proposed by renewable plant resources (such as corn, cassava, etc.). Starch raw materials are saccharified to obtain glucose, which is then fermented by glucose and certain strains to produce high-purity lactic acid and then a certain molecular weight polylactic acid is synthesized by chemical synthesis. It has good biodegradability. It can be completely degraded by microorganisms in nature under specific conditions after use and finally generate carbon dioxide and water without polluting the environment. This is very good for protecting the environment.It is recognized as an environmentally friendly material. Polylactic acid is also Known as polylactide (polylactide), belongs to the polyester family.
How PLA is degraded?
Discarded PLA products can be "buried" and degraded into water and carbon dioxide by natural microorganisms. This process takes only 6 to 12 months and is a truly environmentally friendly material.
