PLA is a thermoplastic polyester made from renewable resources like corn starch or sugar cane. Its production uses significantly less energy than conventional plastic production and emits fewer harmful gases as well. PLA is commonly used for 3D printing, since it requires a relatively low temperature to shape compared to other materials. The filaments of PLA can easily be coloured, resulting in products such as colourful pens. 128
