PLA is made from renewable raw materials. It is made from starchy plants such as corn, sugar beet and sugar cane.
With a view to sustainability, PLA is very interesting. This material is much more sustainable than traditional plastic that is made from fossil fuels.
PLA is one of the few polymers that is both biobased and biodegradable in industrial composting and fermentation.
PLA has proven itself as a valuable alternative to traditional plastics, especially due to its biodegradable properties. However, as with many things in life, it is not a magic solution. The degradation of PLA requires specific conditions. By being aware of these nuances and by handling PLA responsibly, we can reap the benefits of this material without harming our planet.
Products containing PLA are safe for babies, children and adults under normal use.
