In fact, a relatively small amount of bioplastic can contaminate conventional plastic recycling, preventing the salvaged plastic from being reused and stopping recycling companies from profiting from one of their more lucrative recyclables. Due to these dangers, companies like NatureWorks are treading ...
PLA stands for polylactic acid, a polymer made of lactide monomers. A distinguishing characteristic of PLA is that it is made from sustainable sources and breaks down into environment-friendly lactide constituents. This has given PLA the distinction of being the second most heavily used bioplastic i...

to encompass a wider range of chemicals, such as halogenated flame retardants (in foam insulation furniture and plastic fabrics), various plastic performance additives (phthalates used to make vinyl flexible and other additives), and bisphenol A (used in epoxies and other high-performance coatings)....
(PLA) is a compostable bioplastic made from the sugars from fermented starch (e.g., corn and cassava), sugarcane or sugar beet. Polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) is abiodegradable polymerproduced by microorganisms (bacteria) from organic matters like sugar or lipids. There are many biomass resources ...
