Polylactic acid, commonly referred to as PLA, is renewable thermoplastic polyester derived from corn starch, sugarcane, and tapioca roots in various parts of the world. Polylactic acid (PLA) represents the largest application segment for lactic acid. Traditionally, lactic acids were being used in the food and beverages industry, which accounted for the maximum lactic acid produced globally. But owing to a demand for sustainable plastic materials in order to reduce the impact on the environment, PLA has replaced food and beverages as the largest application of lactic acid.
