Polylactic acid doesn’t discharge microplastics to the environment

Polylactic acid, also known as PLA, is a thermoplastic monomer. It is derived from renewable, organic sources such as corn starch or sugar cane. This means that PLA is different from most plastics. It will not fall apart into persistent microplastics, but fully degrade in the presence of water (hydrolysis). As more microplastics become a […]
