PLA (Polylactic Acid)

Polylactic Acid (PLA) is a biodegradable plastic made from renewable resources like cornstarch or sugarcane. It is commonly used in 3D printing, packaging, and disposable tableware because it breaks down naturally over time when exposed to the environment. PLA is popular due to its low environmental impact, safety, and ease of use. Unlike traditional plastics derived from fossil fuels, PLA is compostable and reduces plastic waste. It has a transparent, glossy appearance and can be processed at relatively low temperatures, making it an eco-friendly alternative for various applications.
