What is Polylactic Acid?
Polylactic Acid (PLA) is a biodegradable and bioactive thermoplastic polymer which is obtained using renewable raw materials like corn starch, cassava roots, sugarcane, or any other fermentable of plant origin. It is formed by the fermentation of plant sugars into lactic acid which is then polymerized to come up with PLA. This aliphatic polyester has good mechanical properties in terms of tensile strength, transparency and processability comparable to ordinary petroleum plastics. Under industrial composting conditions, PLA is decomposed resulting in the production of water and carbon dioxide in 90-180 days. Its applications are in packaging, disposable tableware, 3D printing filaments, medical devices, sutures, textile, and agricultural films. In the many industries that aim to decrease their environmental impact, the biocompatibility and biodegradability of PLA have rendered it a viable sustainable alternative over the conventional plastics.
What is Driving the Polylactic Acid Market?
Increasing environmental awareness and tougher laws on single-use plastics across the world are driving the polylactic acid market. The development of sustainable packaging solutions, especially in food and beverage, cosmetics, and e-commerce industries is a key growth driver due to increasing consumer interest. The growing 3D printing market has greatly promoted the demand of PLA as it is easily printed, not toxic and biodegradable. Government initiatives in favour of bio-based materials such as subsidies and tax concessions on green manufacturing is faster in making the markets adopt these materials.
Increasing investments in research and development to enhance the heat resistance and the mechanical properties of PLA are broadening its application. Demand is also being pushed by the preference of biocompatible materials by the growing medical and pharmaceutical industries to be used as drug delivery systems and medical devices. Also, the growing levels of corporate sustainability pledges and circular economy efforts by large brands present major market opportunities to PLA as the companies aim to substitute the traditional plastics with the environmentally friendly options.
