Polylactic acid packaging (PLA), a non-toxic alternative for plastic comes from corn and is known to have similar properties of plastic, but it is bio-degradable. It is able to withstand temperatures up to certain extent. Due to its properties people consider it useful in medical industries as sutures and as disposable diapers. They can also be used to pack hot food products and drinks. PLAs have their own limitations in terms of packaging of some products.
