At the same time, Polylactic Acid is produced at the largest industrial scale of all biodegradable polymers. It is being used in biomedical applications, for bottle production and in compostable food packaging. It is also being evaluated as a material for tissue engineering. Mass production has tremendously reduced the cost of PLA production, making it an economically viable choice for fabPlastics Design LibraryBiodegradable plasticsLactic acidPolymersBiodegradable plastics.Lactic acid.Polymers.620.1620.192323Sin Lee Tin1823546Rahmat Abdul Razak1823547Rahman Wan Azian Wan Abdul1823548MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9911006503903321Polylactic acid4390268UNINA
