Since the implementation of the plastic restriction order in 2008, the annual growth of plastic products has been reduced from 20% to less than 3%, but the pollution is still serious, and the increase in plastic has greatly offset the actual results of the plastic restriction. The previous plastic restriction orders were more about reducing the use of plastic products through price leverage and cultural propaganda, but they still could not stop the massive use of heavily polluted plastic bags. This time, the “Plastic Ban Order” came out, which was fully upgraded and directly banned. PLA fully degradable plastic bags have become the choice to solve the problem of white pollution and become a substitute for traditional plastic bags. So how much do you know about PLA biodegradable bags?

PLA is a polymer (polylactic acid) composed of small lactic acid units. Lactic acid is an organic acid that plays an important role in our daily life. The yogurt we usually drink or anything with glucose can be turned into lactic acid, and the lactic acid of PLA consumables comes from corn and is made of starch raw materials extracted from corn.

At present, PLA is one of the most common materials used in degradable plastic bags. It has a unique feature: “PLA is one of the biodegradable and non-toxic materials, and its raw materials come from nature.”
