PLA based bio plastics are currently produced almost exclusively from corn and grain starch. But given that prices for this feedstock keep rising because of their use in the production of ethanol, the utilization of new raw materials becomes an attractive proposal. The production of sugar crops; both cane and beets, is outstripping demand. Both Brazil and India delivered record crops, and in the EU too sugar prices have declined.
