Polylactic acid (PLA)（Cat No.:M014615）, is a biodegradable and bioactive polymer. It is derived from renewable resources like corn starch or sugarcane through the fermentation of plant sugars. PLA has gained popularity as an eco-friendly alternative to traditional petroleum-based plastics due to its biodegradability and lower environmental impact. It is used in a wide range of applications, including packaging materials, disposable tableware, 3D printing filaments, and medical implants.
