Polylactic acid, a bio-based polyester from fermented starches like corn or sugarcane, offers compostable packaging that breaks down in industrial facilities at 60°C. Ring-opening polymerization of lactide yields high-molecular-weight resins with clarity rivaling PET. Its glass transition at 60°C suits rigid bottles, while nucleating agents speed crystallization for films.
