What's PLA?
Polylactic acid：Polylactic acid is produced by fermentation of high-gloss pure lactic acid from starch biomass such as corn or straw cellulose.It is not based on petroleum as raw material,with environmental protection,non-toxic,degradable characteristics.
Compost degradation
PLA can achieve full biodegradation within 180 days under composting degradation conditions, and the final product of degradation is carbon dioxide and water.
Composting conditions are as follows:
*58 ± 2℃ temperature
*Humidity of 98%
*Enough microorganisms exsitance
