With the increasing demand for degradable materials in Europe, how can PLA materials solve the problem of high temperature intolerance? Are there alternative solutions?

PLA (polylactic acid) is a biodegradable and compostable polymer made from renewable resources such as corn starch or sugarcane. It is a promising material for sustainable packaging and single-use products due to its biodegradability and low carbon footprint. However, PLA has a relatively low glass transition temperature (Tg) of around 60°C, which limits its use…
