Acide Polylactique (PLA), izwi kandi nka polylactide, ni polyester ya alifatique ikorwa na dehydrasi polymerisation ya aside ya lactique ikorwa na fermentation ya mikorobe nka monomer. Ikoresha biomass ishobora kuvugururwa nkibigori, ibisheke, n imyumbati nkibikoresho fatizo, kandi ifite amasoko menshi kandi birashobora kuvugururwa. Umusaruro wa acide polylactique ni karubone nkeya, ibidukikije byangiza ibidukikije, kandi ntibihumanya. Nyuma yo gukoreshwa, ibicuruzwa byayo birashobora gufumbirwa no guteshwa agaciro kugirango umenye ukwezi muri kamere. Mubyongeyeho, irakoreshwa cyane kandi ifite igiciro gito ugereranije nibindi bikoresho bisanzwe byangirika nka PBAT, PBS, na PHA. Kubwibyo, byahindutse cyane kandi byihuta-gukura-biodegradable material mumyaka yashize.

Iterambere rya aside polylactique ihabwa agaciro cyane kwisi yose. Muri 2019, porogaramu nyamukuru ya PLA ku isi mu gupakira no kumeza, ubuvuzi n’umuntu ku giti cye, ibicuruzwa bya firime, n’andi masoko ya nyuma byari 66%, 28%, 2%, na 3%.

Gukoresha isoko rya acide polylactique iracyiganjemo ibikoresho byo kumeza hamwe nugupakira ibiryo hamwe nigihe gito cyo kubaho, bigakurikirwa nigice cyigihe kirekire cyangwa ibikoresho byinshi byo kumeza. Ibicuruzwa bya firime byerekanwe nkibikapu byo guhaha hamwe na mulch bishyigikirwa cyane na leta, kandi ingano yisoko irashobora kugira isimbuka rinini mugihe gito. Isoko ryibicuruzwa bikoreshwa nka fibre hamwe nigitambaro cy’isuku birashobora kandi kuzamuka cyane nkuko bisabwa n’amabwiriza, ariko ikorana buhanga riracyakeneye intambwe. Ibicuruzwa bidasanzwe, nk'icapiro rya 3D ku rugero ruto ariko rwongerewe agaciro, n'ibicuruzwa bisaba gukoresha igihe kirekire cyangwa ubushyuhe bwo hejuru, nka electronics n'ibikoresho by'imodoka.

Biteganijwe ko umusaruro w’umwaka wa acide polylactique ku isi yose (usibye Ubushinwa) ugera kuri toni 150.000 naho umusaruro w’umwaka ni toni 120.000 mbere ya 2015. Ku bijyanye n’isoko, guhera mu 2015 kugeza 2020, isoko rya acide polylactique ku isi riziyongera vuba ku kigero cyo kwiyongera cyumwaka kingana na 20%, kandi ibyifuzo byisoko nibyiza.
Ku bijyanye n'uturere, Leta zunze ubumwe z'Amerika n’isoko rinini cyane rya aside irike, ikurikirwa n’Ubushinwa, ku isoko ry’umusaruro ku kigero cya 14% muri 2018. Ku bijyanye n’imikoreshereze y’akarere, Amerika iracyafite umwanya wa mbere. Muri icyo gihe, ni nacyohereza ibicuruzwa byinshi ku isi. Muri 2018, isoko rya aside polylactique ku isi (PLA) ryahawe agaciro ka miliyoni 659 USD. Nka plastiki yangirika hamwe nibikorwa byiza. Imbere mu isoko bafite icyizere ku isoko ry'ejo hazaza
