Markets and Markets to launch a report on lactic acid marketing and global trends

Markets and Markets, the international market research and Consultancy Company launched a report about lactic acid marketing and global trends in 2019. Along with the analysis of and projection of markets, the report gives exact definition of lactic acid marketing. Researchers have also identified the volume and value of lactic acid and poly-lactic acid. The latest study report about the marketing of lactic acid; states that the marketing is growing with the rate of about 18.8% per annum from the current year so that it is expected to reach up to 3577.5 million dollars till 2019. As lactic acid is highly in demand for various industrial uses, its production is subjected for swiftness by many production groups. Lactic acid is applied significantly in pharmaceutical industry, food and beverage industry, personal care products, production of biodegradable polymers etc.

The most important use of lactic acid in the modern time is the production of bioplastic PLA which is one of the most demanded biodegradable plastics nowadays. This product is being used for packaging in food industry. Apart from this, the bioplastic is also being used in agriculture industry, textile and injection molding process. Most of the product now is being developed from petrochemical feedstocks, the development process is projected from the demand point of view.

Recyclable feedstock to produce biopolymer for production of biobased plastic

Exponential growth and development of bioplastics in the international plastic industry gives rise to eco friendly production in a fast manner. As bioplastics are obtained from natural sources and developed with the feature of biodegradability and composite properties, they are preferred by most of the plastic manufacturing groups all over the world. There are two main factors to influence the growth of these products; high level technical expertise and regularly increasing demand of sustainable products. PLA i.e. the polylactic acid became the most demanded bio-based polymer during recent years.

Fermentation of sugars leads towards production of lactic acid and polylactic acid. Some of the renewable energy sources such as sugar beet, corn, sugar cane etc. are employed for development of PLA. As the subjected resources can be recycled at least once annually, the supply of energy resources for production of PLA remains adequate throughout the year. Nowadays, leading researchers focus their researches for development of lactic acid through non food crops.

The most important thing to know about the polymer is that after polymerization of lactic acid to polylactic acid, the biopolymer gains some good properties such as durability, thermo-stable feature and reinforced status.  

FKuR and Corbion Purac collaborate together to develop high performance PLA

FKuR Kunststoff GmbH and Corbion Purac together joined forces for development of poly lactic acid (PLA) compounds. Former is a bioplastic specialist while later is the international market leader to possess interest in PLA manufacturing for heat resistance and durability. Both of these groups are targeting production of new bioplastic compounds for food and non food packaging. Moreover, many durable products such as office stationeries and toys etc are also projected to be manufactured in this way. Both of these companies will work especially for development of compounds with high heat resistance feature; although, this feature has not been achieved in production of standard bioplastics till now. According to the CEO of FKuR, Edmund Dolfen, collaboration with Corbion Purac and technical capabilities of PLA offers innovative opportunity of designing well performing bio compounds.

Lactic monomers used by the Corbio Purac are extracted from GMO free, renewable feedstocks such as sugarcane. It is considered to form platform for PLA and results in homopolymers that can withstand boiling water’s temperature. In this way, high performance characteristics to match the oil based counterparts are obtained. With the great combination of expertise and research skills, Corbion Purac has achieved success in development of high performance biobased compounds.
