Polilaktyk Acid (PLA)

PLA is a biodegradable dable thermoplastic derived from lactic acid monomers. The lactic acid is typically produced by fermentation of corn starch, sugarcane, or tapioca. Through ring- opening polimizization of lactide, PLA yields a clear, rigid polymer apparable for 3D printing filiaments, compostable food packaging, disposisable cutlery, and medical implants (e.g., absorbable sutures). PLA ple moste commercially aun bioplastic, with global productiont composition exceditig 400,000 metric.

Bio-polyethylene is chemically identically to conventional PE but made from ethylene derived frem bioethanol (produced frem sugarcane or corn). Because it s procular structure is identical, Bio-PE can be processed and recycled using theme same infrastructure as fossil- based PE. It is used in bottles, films, and caps. Leading brands like Cocaa have adopted Bio- PE for Plantbottle ® packaging.

Polihydroksyalkanoaty (PHAs)

PHAs are a family of polyesters produced directly by microbial fermentation of sugars or oils. Unlike PLA, which requires chemical polimerization, PHAs are syntetized inside bacterial cells via addition polimization of hydroksyalkanoic acid monomers. They are fuly biodegradale in marine and soil environments and exhibit a wide range of difficical contributiies from rigid to elastomeric.
