PLA stands for Polylactic acid. Virtually all PLA plastic is made from corn or sugarcane, depending on where you live in the world. It was developed primarily to find an alternative to using fossil fuels to produce the plastic we need and only recently has generated renewed interest because of its so-called biodegradability.
