Product Description
Polylactic acid (PLA) is a bio-based and biodegradable polymer made from annually renewable resources. Polylactic acid(PLA) is a thermoplastic aliphatic polyester. The lactic acid or lactide required for the production of polylactic acid(PLA) can be obtained by fermentation, dehydration and purification of renewable resources. Polylactic acid generally has good mechanical properties and processing properties, and polylactic acid products can be quickly degraded in various ways after being discarded, and are truly pollution-free.
Bio-based PLA resin with multiple end-of-life options is made from renewable resources and is 100% bio-based according to EN16785-1. At the end of its useful life, polylactic acid (PLA) applications can be recycled mechanically or chemically. Polylactic acid (PLA) is also compostable according to EN13432. Compostable applications such as bin liners help divert valuable organic waste from landfills.

Product Features
Efficient use of raw materials
PLA is a highly efficient plastic: it takes only 1.6 kg of sugar to make 1 kg of polylactic acid (PLA). Other types of bioplastics may require more natural resources to produce the same amount of final product.
Environmentally friendly and degradable
PLA is commercially available on an industrial scale from several large factories around the world.
Harmless to human body
Since the raw material is food grade starch, it is safe and healthy. Therefore, it will not produce any harmful substances in the process of use.
Proven Application
Commercial products made from PLA/CPLA can already be found in a wide range of mature markets. Whether you are interested in molded parts, films, foams, 3D printing or fibers, you can turn to us for application development support.
Can be microwaved or refrigerated
CPLA is one of superior plastic material. The high temperature endurance of CPLA is form 90℃ to 100 ℃, so it is especially suitable for serving hot meals and hot dishes. The degradable lunch box can be heated in the microwave. CPLA is suitable for making all kinds of food containers.
