PLA is often touted as a greener option because it’s made from renewable resources like corn starch or sugarcane. However, there is a common misconception that PLA can be recycled alongside regular plastics in the traditional recycling system. Unfortunately, this isn’t the case, and PLA needs to be discarded into landfill or sent to a commercial composting facilitie.
