Why is PLA regarded as the "gateway drug" for 3D printing?

PLA, or polylactic acid, is a biodegradable plastic derived from renewable resources such as corn starch, sugar cane, and sugar beet.

Research Progress of Fibrous Reinforced Polylactic Acid in Bone Repair Field

Polylactic acid (PLA), as a completely biodegradable polymer material, demonstrates great application potential in the field of bone repair due to its excellent biocompatibility and absorbability. It can effectively avoid the problem of the need for a second surgery to remove traditional metal implants.

New Opportunities for Poly Lactic Acid (PLA)! The demand in industries such as packaging, healthcare and automotive is steadily increasing, driving the transformation of German materials.

As one of the largest and most technologically advanced plastic markets in the world, Germany is emerging as a crucial battleground for the transition to sustainable materials.

India launches its first biodegradable billboard to promote 100% biodegradable slippers

Recently, the local Indian open-toe footwear brand Chupps Footwear unveiled India's first biodegradable billboard in Bandra, Mumbai. This is a pioneering initiative in the field of sustainable fashion. The billboard was conceived by INTO Creative and symbolizes Chupps' bold commitment to reducing fashion waste, both in its products and in promotional activities.

Starting from PLA products, jointly build a carbon-neutral future

In the current era of increasingly severe global climate warming, "carbon neutrality" has become an important issue that all mankind is facing and urgently needs to solve.

"Special Management Measures for Central Budgetary Investment for Energy Conservation and Carbon Reduction" (Document No. 1228 of 2025 by the National Development and Reform Commission - Department of Environmental and Resources Protection)

To strengthen and standardize the management of energy conservation and carbon reduction projects funded by the central budget, and to ensure the smooth implementation of these projects, and to effectively utilize the benefits of the central budget investment

The National Development and Reform Commission has issued a significant document! Biobased degradable materials are receiving support from central budgetary investment. These opportunities must be seized!

On October 14th, the National Development and Reform Commission officially issued the "Special Management Measures for Energy Conservation and Carbon Reduction Central Budgetary Investment" (Document No. 1228 of 2025 issued by the Ministry of Development and Reform for Environmental and Resources Affairs), which is a policy document directly linked to central budgetary investment. This document clearly includes related fields such as biodegradable plastics in the scope of support.

Why do PET and PP remain "unyielding", while PLA and PHA can "disappear"?

When you are shopping at the supermarket and pick up a plastic bottle, or when you order takeout and see the plastic packaging, have you ever wondered: "The same is 'plastic' - why does some of it gradually 'disappear' in the environment after use, while others remain in the soil and the ocean for hundreds of years?"

Academician Tan Tianwei: The significance of biological manufacturing is no less important than that of chips.

Tan Tianwei (President of Beijing University of Chemical Technology and a Chinese Academy of Engineering member) pointed out at the China Biomanufacturing Innovation Technology Forum held in September 2025 that by the end of this century, the global biomanufacturing industry market is expected to reach 30 trillion US dollars, accounting for one-third of the global manufacturing output. He believes that the importance of biomanufacturing is no less than that of chip development and will trigger the fourth industrial revolution.
