Polylactic acid (PLA) is a new biodegradable material, which is made of starch from renewable plant resources such as corn. Lactic acid is produced from starch by fermentation and then converted into polylactic acid by chemical synthesis.
Application: extruded resin, mainly used for fresh fruit packaging; secondly, it is used to promote safety, energy saving, environmental protection of electronic products packaging. In addition, the application of extruded resin in horticulture has also begun to receive attention, and has been applied in slope greening, sand storm control and other fields.
