PLA resin is made by breaking down the naturally occurring starches that are present in plant sugars. Through a process of fermentation, separation and polymerization, carbon and other elements in these natural sugars are converted into PLA resin. As such, PLA is entirely made from renewable resources like corn in contrast to most other plastics that are petroleum-based.
