Plaxica is developing a new generation of polymers derived from sustainable resources. Plaxica’s polymers are a range of polylactic acid (PLA) based materials which have improved physical properties compared with first generation biopolymers, a smaller environmental footprint, are fully recyclable and cost competitive with current oil-based alternatives. These second generation PLA polymers are aimed at the replacement of conventional oil-derived products like PET, polypropylene and polystyrene.
