Polylactic Acid (PLA) Production-64832 PDF

Introduction
Polylactic acid or polyactide (PLA) is a biodegradable and bioactive
polyester made up of lactic acid building blocks. Polylactic acid (PLA) is
at present one of the most promising biodegradable polymers
(biopolymers) and has been the subject of abundant literature over the
last decade.
PLA can be processed with a large number of techniques and is

commercially available (large-scale production) in a wide range of
grades. It is relatively cheap and has some remarkable properties,
which make it suitable for different applications.
www.entrepreneurindia.co
Polylactic acid (PLA) is the most common bioplastic in use today. First,
corn or other raw materials are fermented to produce lactic acid, which
is then polymerized to make polylactic acid (PLA). Bioplastics are
expected to make major contributions to environmental protection,
because they reduce CO2 and because they are biodegradable. The
range of applications for bioplastics is growing, from materials used in
automobile interiors to packaging for foods and cosmetics, to
agricultural sheeting, to household appliances.
Application:
PLA is biocompatible and thus suitable for medical use, for instance in
absorbable suture threads. PLA is also one of the few plastics that are
suitable for 3D printing. PLA (polylactic acid) is adapted to classical
processing equipments and allows the manufacturing of food contact
packagings, bottles for cosmetics application, textile fibers etc.
Early applications of high-density PLA were mostly limited to

biomedical areas due to its ability to be safely absorbed biologically.
Over the past decades, the development of economical production
methods and a rising environmental consciousness in consumers lead
to the widespread use of PLA as packaging material for consumer goods.
Market Outlook
Polylactic Acid (PLA) Market is expected to garner $5.2 billion by 2020,
registering a CAGR of 19.5% during the forecast period 2013-2020.
Polylactic acid (PLA) is a bio-degradable thermoplastic aliphatic
polymer produced from lactic acid using various crops like corn,
sugarcane, tapioca etc. as a raw material.
Segmentation - World PLA Market
Increasing consumer awareness, government incentives and easy
availability of raw materials are the major factors driving market
growth. However, the cost of PLA is comparatively higher than
synthetic plastics, thus becoming a primary restraining factor for the
market growth.
Top Factors Impacting - World PLA Market
In terms of volume consumption Polylactic acid accounts for highest
consumed bio plastic. Government is taking initiatives, providing
subsidies and support for increasing usage of bio degradable products.
Pollution control and environment safety are the major reasons why
more and more stakeholders are turning towards bio plastic usage
rather than conventional plastic synthesised from petroleum.
Technological advancement, technological transfer from developed
countries and high consumer demand in developing countries are
responsible for upcoming new set ups in packaging, textiles and
electronics industries. These industries’ demand for Polylactic acid is
the key market growth driver in developing countries.
Increasing usage in creams, shampoos, and body care products as it enhances
skin lightening effects, improves collagen and elastin synthesis, accelerates
exfoliation and cell renewal is expected to propel industry expansion over the
forecast period. Rising demand for personal care products, owing to the
introduction of sophisticated products along with the formulation development
for a particular consumer group is expected to create new growth avenues for
the lactic acid market.
There are different types of packaging available in the market such as metal
packaging, rigid packaging, flexible packaging, glass packaging, cardboard, and
paper packaging. Some common objectives of packaging are physical protection,
barrier protection, containment or agglomeration, marketing, security, and
convenience. The key driver responsible for the growth of the market is the
increasing demand for plastics in packaging from the developing countries such
as China and India. The countries like Brazil, India, China, and Russia (BRIC)
are global leaders in the Packaging industry with a total 30% of the market
share.
Pattern of Application Sector Wise Demand for
Polylactic Acid
The Polylactic acid Market is segmented based on product form which is
further sub-divided into films and sheets, coatings, and fibers; and also on
the basis of the application which is again sub-divided into packaging,
catering, technical material, consumer goods, agriculture, construction
materials and others. Packaging is the main application of PLA since
almost 46% of PLA is consumed for manufacturing packaging materials.
Packaging material again has two categories, film packaging, and bottle
packaging. In this category, most of the PLA is used for making of plastic
bags. Around 19000 tons i.e. 18% of total PLA is used for making plastic
bottles.
The major players in global Polylactic acid production market are

collaborating in order to provide innovative solutions to meet the specific
demand for Polylactic acid. Most of European and American firms are taking
initiatives via technology and expertise transfer to increase the production
of Polylactic acid in Asia pacific market, which is highest growing market.
Indian Scenario:
Poly lactic acid is not presently produced in India.
