1. Environmentally Friendly Corn Based PLA Plastic Film , Shrink
Wrap Plastic Rolls Introduction
PLA is a biodegradable plastic produced from renewable resources.
For this reason, it is more environmentally friendly than most
alternatives. It tends to be more expensive than most conventional
shrink labels. Shrink results tend to be less repeatable than with
petroleum-based polymers, meaning a more robust process is
necessary.

5. Advantages of PLA
One of the major advantages of PLA is its biodegradable nature and
the sustainable process by which it is made, making it the
environmentally friendly choice of plastic. Under the right
circumstances, PLA can break down into its natural elements in less
than a month in contrast to the centuries it will take for
traditional plastics to decompose.
The process by which PLA Is made is also more environment-friendly.
PLA is a thermoplastic, meaning it will turn into a liquid in its
melting point of 150 to 160 Celsius. A nifty feature of
thermoplastics is that they can be heated, set upon cooling, and
reheated again to form other shapes without any degradation. In
contrast, a thermosetting plastic (such as epoxy or melamine) can
only be heated and molded once, but the resulting product can no
longer be reheated as it will just burn. This property of PLA makes
it a desirable material for recycling.
PLA can be broken down to its original monomers by a thermal
de-polymerization process or by hydrolysis. The resulting monomer
solution can be purified and used for subsequent PLA production
without any loss of quality. Should a material made from PLA be
incinerated, no toxic fumes will be generated.
