What is Polylactic Acid?

Polylactic acid PLA is a thermoplastic aliphatic polyester including the repeating unit of -(C3H4O2)- and is both biodegradable and biocompatible. Renewable biomass feedstock is the source for manufacturers' PLA. They ferment sugars out of corn starch, sugarcane, cassava, or other carbohydrate feedstocks to lactic acid. Then they react with a condensation or polymerize lactide through ring-opening. It is a biodegradable thermoplastic. It is a renewable alternative to conventional petroleum-based plastics. It resembles polystyrene and polyethylene terephthalate PET. It has similar optical transparency. It can undergo processing with methods like injection molding, extrusion, thermoforming, and spinning. PLA applications include packaging, disposable cutlery, food containers, agricultural films, fiber in textiles, 3D printing materials, biomedical devices including sutures, organ and tissue implants, also drug delivery vehicles. The ability of PLA for composting under industrial composting conditions and the comparatively low carbon footprint of the material have made it attractive for applications that depend on environmental performance.

What is Driving the Polylactic Acid Market?

Climate change impacts with bans on single-use plastics drive the polylactic acid market. Global trends focus on circular economy. As people increasingly become aware of sustainable packaging when they consider the food service, retail, and e-commerce sectors, they will demand biodegradable packaging, and this demand can benefit the market's growth. Other drivers are the government support, incentives and subsidies to bio-based industries and plastic ban in many countries. PLA is widely used as feedstock in 3D printing applications. Its increasing consumption is a major growth driver for the PLA market, as it is easy to work with, and it has a favorable environmental profile. Technological improvements in the heat resistance, oxygen and moisture barrier properties, and mechanical strength of PLA have increased its competitiveness with other types of conventional plastics. In agriculture, PLA mulch films that are left in place after harvesting are becoming more common. In the medical field, the use of bioabsorbable materials for surgical instruments and devices is increasing. Economic viability, meaning increased investment into production capacity, decreasing manufacturing cost due to higher production volume and diversified feedstock sources, are making PLA available for a wider range of applications.
