From Cornfields to Plastics: The Story of PLA's Green Revolution
2025-05-23
Corn, a humble crop, is undergoing a remarkable transformation in the lab — scientists are using its starch to create a magical material that could replace traditional plastics: polylactic acid (PLA). This bioplastic, essentially "grown" in the fields, is quietly reshaping our relationship with plastic. PLA Recycling Process The birth of polylactic acid (PLA) resembles a precisely coordinated rela...
