What is PLA?
PLA (Poly Lactic Acid) is is made from plant material. Starch and plant sugars are used as renewable resource. These starches are mainly side and waste streams of the corn industry. Industrially, dextrose (sugar) is created from harvested plant starch through a process called hydrolysis. Next, microorganisms will convert the sugar into lactic acid through fermentation. The PLA polymer is formed either by (1) direct condensation of lactic acid or (2) via the cyclic intermediate lactide through a ring opening process.
