PLA (polylactic acid) is a plant-based plastic material made from starch derived from sources such as corn.
It does not increase carbon dioxide in the atmosphere even when incinerated (carbon neutral), resulting in a lower environmental impact compared to fossil-derived plastics. Additionally, it decomposes into water and carbon dioxide under certain environmental conditions (biodegradable), which means that even if it becomes microplastics, it can decompose in the natural environment, reducing environmental pollution.

basic information
1. Organic Recycling After use, it decomposes into water and CO₂ under certain conditions and returns to nature, creating a circular cycle that generates corn and other plants through photosynthesis. This is an ideal cycle that can only be achieved by biodegradable plastics. 2. Carbon Neutral Since biomass such as corn is used as raw material, CO₂ is absorbed during the growth process of the plants, resulting in a net zero CO₂ in the atmosphere even when incinerated. 3. Antibacterial Properties As it is made from lactic acid, which is also present in the human body, it is a safe material with biocompatibility. Additionally, due to the properties of lactic acid, it has antibacterial properties and provides antibacterial effects without the need for additives.
