PLA? What is it?

PLA stands for Polylactic Acid. It is a polymer that is derived from plants and while it is marketed as eco-friendly it is still a plastic but it is a better option than oil derived plastics. Additionally, PLA is biodegradable but only under certain conditions. It will not degrade in typical compost heaps and as such it is advised to not discard your used PLA items this way. Please contact your local authority to discuss if they have PLA recycling or compost options available.
