The Lactic Acid Market to Exhibit Highest Growth in Biodegradable Plastics Production Owing To Increasing Environmental Concerns
Lactic acid, also known as 2-hydroxypropionic acid, is an organic acid produced as the primary by-product of sugar metabolism in humans and other mammals. Lactic acid is a white, water-soluble solid under ambient conditions. It is widely used in the production of biodegradable plastics such as polylactic acid (PLA) due to its renewability and biodegradability. […]
