Biodegradable PLA can be applied in different fields such as food packaging, food containers, tableware, films, bags, non-woven and fibers through a wide range of processing technologies including injection moulding, blow moulding, thermoforming, extrusion and calendaring. Injection moulding is the most typical method to produce biodegradable PLA cutlery and dining utensils. Biodegradable PLA films can be produced through the processes of extrusion and calendaring. Extrusion involves the steps of feeding, heating, fusing and forcing a plastic compound.
