PLA is an acronym that stands for polylactic acid and is a resin typically made from corn starch or other plant-based starches. PLA is used to make clear compostable containers and PLA lining is used in paper or fiber cups and containers as an impermeable liner. PLA is biodegradable and fully compostable.
