PLA, or polylactic acid, is a polymer derived from renewable resources such as corn or sugarcane. Unlike traditional plastics, which are designed to last indefinitely, PLA is intended to decompose in commercial composting environments. Although PLA packaging resembles conventional plastic, it requires special care due to its unique properties.
• Keep Cool: Avoid temperatures above 40 Celsius, as excessive heat can warp your PLA products. Ex: Don’t leave your travel case in the car in summer days.
• Avoid Direct Sunlight: Store your case away from UV light or direct sun. Refrain from taking the case to the beach or leaving it on the car dash.
• Hand Wash: If your case becomes dirty just wash by hand in warm (not hot) soapy water and let dry.
Remember, PLA is designed to break down in warm conditions similar to compost. To preserve its integrity, avoid exposing it to conditions that accelerate degradation
